New Lube Reference Gives Test Results & Recommendations More Meaning
Oil analysis is all about change - about how a lubricant changes during use and to what degree. The properties of a used lubricant cannot be properly evaluated without knowing its properties when new. Comparing used oil analysis results with a “new lube reference” is essential to effectively assessing any change in an oil's physical properties or additives.
Contamination, additive depletion rates and abnormal fluctuations in viscosity are immediately obvious when an analysis report includes a new lube reference. New lube references also ensure product integrity - that you're getting what you've paid for - and can potentially save you millions of dollars in unnecessary oil drains, equipment repair or replacement and unscheduled downtime.
