gauge the health of an engine.

Oil analysis is a quick, non-destructive

way to gauge the health of an engine

Oil Analysis provides vital information as to the condition of both the oil and the engine being tested. It can
detect wear and contamination problems that, if left unchecked, can severely effect engine performance or
cause engine failure.

To achieve the maximum benefit oil samples must be taken at regular intervals with details supplied about the
sample to include:
• Lube brand/type • Total engine hours
• Viscosity grade • Engine hours since last oil change/sample
• Lube system capacity • Amount of oil added since last oil change/sample

The more information provided the more useful the results of the analysis are likely to be.

The recommended oil sampling interval for a marine diesel engine is every 500hrs & just prior to oil changes.
Regular sampling will enable abnormalities to be detected, allowing pre-emptive action to be taken to prevent
further damage.

The easy to interpret laboratory report includes readings for each element tested with abnormal readings
highlighted, along with an overall rating for your engine as either “normal”, “caution” or “warning”.

Don’t wait until it is too late and expensive repairs are necessary.

Notes (Finding, Evaluation, Interpretation, Suggestion and Recommendation)

Note abnormal copper detected.

All oil conditions and oil tests appear in normal working range.
All contaminant conditions and contaminant levels appear in normal ranges.
Recommend resample in 250 hours from the time this sample was taken, to monitor.
Please advise lube reservoir capacity in liters for a more thorough interpretation.
Please forward sample of new oil that is being used in this component, for analysis and reference comparison purposes. Somchai J.
