Title: Use Of Oil Analysis On Gas Engines As A Maintenance Tool

Abstract: In any given group of maintenance men the subject of oil analysis can bring about a real verbal brawl. The believers are devout, and the non-believers are like the Tareyton smokers. Theyd rather fight than switch. Over the past few years Ive become involved in enough of these arguments to know that a logical definition of oil analysis will make switchers of the fighters. For some strange reason, engines and lubricants are considered as unpredictable as women. The truth is, manufacturers of the systems, and formulators of the lubricant know exactly how a system will react to the known factors heat, dirt, air. fuel and contamination. What makes a system seem unpredictable are the same variables that make a woman unpredictable. Operating conditions, age or time, quality of maintenance and last but not least, the amount of or lack of TLC by operators. The system and the lubricant have the monumental task of trying to survive the known factors AND the variables. Oil analysis has the equally monumental task of diagnosing ihe effect the known factors and the variables will have on the system. Hopefully, before catastrophic failure.
