Our Engine Oil Testing & Lubrication Analysis Focus
Engine Oil Test Sampling and Analysis
- A diagnostic tool and laboratory test used to assess the condition of oil and the machinery it’s used in.
- Helps detect wear, contamination, and changes in the oil’s chemical properties that could indicate developing problems.
- Extends equipment life, ensures optimal performance, and eliminates unexpected breakdowns or downtime.
Performance Reporting and Strategic Insights
- Detects:
- Wear Metals
- Contaminants
- Oil Condition
- Degradation
- Results are compared to baseline data and wear limits.
- Trends are monitored over time for early detection of problems.
Recommendations and Executable Actions
- Preventive maintenance program:
- Customized to your unique needs and requirements.
- Maintenance frequencies designed to meet your operational and environmental demands.
- Cost saving recommendations:
- Oil change frequencies
- Oil and lubricant quality
- Reduction of maintenance and repair costs
- Failure diagnostics to pinpoint causes and solutions.
Our Value
What Engine Oil Testing Detects and Why It Matters
Wear Metals
What Engine Oil Testing Tells You:
Early warning for component wear and detection of wear debris.
Insights:
- Iron: cylinder liners, gears, crankshafts
- Copper: bearings, bushings
- Aluminum: pistons, bearings
- Chromium: rings, shafts
ContaminAnts
What Engine Oil Testing Tells You:
Foreign substances getting into the oil, signaling internal and external problems.
Insights:
- Dirt / Silica: from air filtration leaks
- Coolant (glycol): from head gasket leaks
- Fuel: from injector or combustion issues
- Water: from condensation or leaks
Oil Condition / Degradation
What Engine Oil Testing Tells You:
How well the oil is performing, if it is still fit for use, and can it support optimal engine or machinery performance.
Insights:
- Oxidation: aging from exposure to heat and oxygen
- Nitration: result of combustion gases entering the oil
- Viscosity change: due to the shear, contamination, or oxidation

Our Process
Our Proven Engine Oil Testing & Lubrication Analysis Process
Step 1: Scheduling and Consultation
- Review your machinery, engines, and usage cycles to understand the current state of your operations or fleet.
- Assess the lifecycle and performance of your oil and lubricants.
- Determine customized testing plans and frequency.
Step 2: Engine Oil and Lubrication Testing and Analysis
- Samples are collected onsite—directly from your engines and machinery—typically during operation or immediately after shutdown.
- Common tests include:
- Metal wear and additives (iron, copper, aluminum, chromium)
- Oxidation, nitration, and contaminants (dirt, fuel, coolant, water)
- Viscosity at specific temperatures
- Water content
- Cleanliness level
- Fuel dilution
- Analyzed for evidence of wear, contamination, degradation, and potential future breakdown, maintenance, or replacement needs.
Step 3: Strategic Engine Oil & Lubrication Insights and Actionable Recommendations
- Comprehensive reports flag excessive wear, wear debris, abnormal conditions, and compare to industry standards.
- Failure diagnostics and root cause analysis.
- Our team targets potential solutions:
- Oil quality
- Oil change frequency
- Additives
- Lubricant quality
- Preventive maintenance recommendations.
Step 4: Integrated Engine Oil and Lubrication Support
- Ongoing oil and lubrication health tracking—your program adapts as your equipment and operational requirements evolve.
- Integration with Fleet Core’s additional fuel and fluid health and performance support programs.
