OIL ANALYSIS SERVICE

REDUCE DOWNTIME - INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY

LET US ANALYZE YOUR OIL!

PROTECT YOUR EQUIPMENT What Do I Get For My Investment
In Oil Analysis?

• Reduction in unexpected failures
• Increased availability of equipment and
less down time.
• Reduce oil disposal costs by only changing
worn out oil.
• Longer equipment life.
• Reduced reject rates.
• Reduced spare parts inventory.
To your naked eye there is not much
difference between these two samples • Reduction of maintenance costs by replacing
or repairing fewer components.
• Reduction of larger expenses related to
repairing failures and unnecessary service.
• Help establish and extend oil change intervals.

COST/BENEFIT ANALYSIS EXAMPLE
YEAR ONE
Labor to take and review samples................... $500
To OUR eye there is a Sample cost - 40 machines............................. $3440
DRAMATIC DIFFERENCE! Training and start-up supplies......................... + $1500
TOTAL START-UP COST $5440
Oil analysis was originally developed for preventive Reduced line downtime................................... $5350
maintenance for engines. Engine fleet managers could
track wear over time and by watching wear metal counts, Reduced oil consumption 20% through
they could take an engine out of service before serious unnecessary changes..................................... $800
problems arose. Reduced labor cost from not changing oil....... $300
The same principles apply to hydraulic fluids and because Reduced overtime 35% for unplanned
hydraulic systems are more sensitive to foreign materials downtime......................................................... $1500
than engines, the reports have been expanded to give Reduced cost of component repair (20%)....... + $1000
more detailed information.
TOTAL START-UP COST $8950
Effective preventive maintenance programs use frequent
oil analysis as a means of predicting problems. This RETURN ON INVESTMENT = 164%

When starting preventive maintenance programs it may Kits Include: Oil bottle, service form, mailing bottle and
take 8-10 samples to get meaningful baseline data after prepaid lab service report. Lab report will include: particle

in machine condition) costs an average of $17 to $18 OPTION 1-9 10+

that “Predictive” preventive maintenance costs only $7
