Is an oil analysis worth it?

Is Oil Analysis Really Worth It? If you’re a racer, engine builder, tuner, or just operate equipment with plenty of miles, the occasional oil sample analysis can do wonders. There’s no downside to testing and it’s an easy, affordable way to gauge the condition of your engine.

What will an oil analysis show?

The analysis will tell whether the oil has experienced excessive water contamination. The lab may also look at the acid and base numbers. Acid levels indicate the extent to which the oil is overheating or oxidizing. An oil analysis can also detect a coolant leak within the engine.

How do you get oil analyzed?

You have two options for analyzing your motor oil with a kit.

How do you check the salinity of lube oil?

Salt Water Determination Shake the oil sample bottle and draw off 5ml using the syringe provided. Add this lube oil to the test tube, replace the cap and shake vigorously. Keep the tube upright in hot water and allow to stand for 1 hour until the water settles out of the oil sample.

What is used to check lubrication levels?

An oil analysis test kit has equipment that will allow for onsite testing of new and in-service oils. Many kits can provide valuable data on key parameters such as viscosity, acid number, moisture content, particle contamination and wear debris.

Why do lube oil samples need to be sent for analysis?

OA is performed during routine maintenance to provide meaningful and accurate information on lubricant and machine condition. By tracking the oil analysis sample results over the life of a particular machine, trends can be established which can eliminate costly repairs.
