Key

  • Included test
  • TAN in lieu of oxidation for select synthetic products
  • Not an included test
  • Required by RICE NESHAP

*Viscosity reported at 40°C or 100°C, based on oil type or service level.

Analysis may vary by laboratory, product supplied or oil condition.

Sample frequency

Sample at OEM recommended frequency or, for general guidance, begin with: 500 hours.

Adjust frequency based on asset’s economic impact, operating environment, machine age, oil age or sample results trend.
