Are You Changing Too Frequently? We’re all looking for ways to stretch every dollar and keep expenses down. Take a tip from the Energy Team and consider the benefits Total Oil Analysis offers your business. “Lube analysis is a preventative tool that tells us what’s going on inside the engine, transmission, gearbox and hydraulic system without having to take the unit apart,” says Co-Alliance lube and fuel expert Doug Henderson. “Fluid condition and the presence of even tiny particles help us detect problems before they become damage or failures.” Preventing unexpected downtime means increased reliability, productivity and profitability. And conducting oil changes as they are truly needed rather than on a schedule can also save your business money. For optimum results, Co-Alliance’s Doug Henderson brings decades of Henderson suggests experience in lubes and fuel to his position. following best practices very carefully. That means: n identify appropriate sample points n use those same points every time you sample your oil n determine proper sampling intervals n implement contamination control best practices (unsure? ask!), and n track results and adapt your daily maintenance practices accordingly.
