Motor Oil Test Inc.® , provides a ten minute oil analysis for engines, transmissions, power steering systems, and gearboxes.

Our purpose is to provide a mean of predicting possible failure without dismantling the equipment. A person can "look inside" an engine, transmission or hydraulic systems without taking it apart. A detailed oil analysis sample of an engine, transmission, etc., is a valuable preventive maintenance tool. In many cases it will allow you to identify potential problems before a major repair is necessary. In addition, an oil analysis has the potential to reduce the frequencies of oil changes, and increases the resale value of used equipment.

Motor oil test involves sampling and analyzing oil for various properties and materials to monitor wear and contamination inside an engine, transmission or hydraulic system. Sampling and analyzing on a regular basis establishes a baseline of normal wear and can help indicate when abnormal wear or contamination is occurring.

Note that the oils inside any moving mechanical apparatus for a period of time will reflect the exact condition of that assembly. Oil that is in contact with engine or mechanical components, wear metallic particles, and these particles enter the oil. Products of the combustion process (gasoline, water, refrigerant, etc.) also will become trapped in the circulating oil. The oil becomes a working history of the machine.

Particles caused by normal wear and operation will mix with the oil. Any externally caused contamination also enters the oil. By identifying and measuring these impurities, you get an indication of the rate of wear and of any excessive contamination. An oil analysis by Motor Oil Test, Inc. will allow you to know if there is normal or abnormal wear of your engine.

Early detection can:

• Reduce repair bills
• Reduce catastrophic failures
• Increase machinery life
• Reduce non-scheduled downtime
