Oil / Fuel / Coolant Sampling

                            Laboratory analysis is only as good as the sample taken. The goal is to take samples that are
                                                     truly representative of the oil, fuel or coolant in the engine.
                                             Remember the old saying: Garbage in, garbage out!

• When to sample?      We take samples during operation or within 30 minutes of shutdown.
• Where to sample?     We recommend an oil galley, the engine crankcase, the drain plug or dipstick tube.  We do not                                       take samples from the oil filter or drain pan, rather draw from the middle of the reservoir to                                     avoid any sludge at the bottom.
• Being consistent.       We take samples from same location every time. Consistency is key.
