Extraleed Oil Analysis Program
At Extraleed, we understand that maintaining the health of your equipment is crucial for operational efficiency and long-term success. That’s why we’ve developed a comprehensive Used Oil Analysis Program, tailored to detect early indicators of wear, contamination, and chemical changes that could compromise the performance, safety, or lifespan of your mechanical systems.
Our oil analysis is a cornerstone of Condition-Based Monitoring (CBM)—a proactive maintenance strategy that enables early detection of potential issues before they evolve into costly failures. By continuously monitoring the condition of your engine oil or machine lubricants, our program helps reduce unplanned downtime, improve equipment reliability, and optimize overall productivity.
In addition, Oil Condition Monitoring (OCM) provides a deeper understanding of both lubricant health and internal component wear. This data-driven approach supports smarter maintenance planning and informed decision-making, helping you avoid major repairs, minimize operational risks, and extend service intervals without compromising performance.
The oil analysis process focuses on three critical areas:
- Lubricant Condition – Evaluating the physical and chemical properties of the lubricant to determine its current effectiveness and remaining useful life.
- Contamination Detection – Identifying foreign substances such as water, dirt, coolant, or fuel that may compromise lubricant performance and damage internal components.
- Machine Wear Analysis – Monitoring wear metals and other by-products that signal the rate and nature of wear occurring within your equipment.
By understanding these three areas, you gain actionable insights that allow you to:
- Choose the most suitable lubricant for each machine or application
- Extend equipment lifespan through timely maintenance
- Maximize operational efficiency and reduce maintenance costs
With precise laboratory testing and expert interpretation, Extraleed’s Oil Analysis Program empowers your maintenance strategy, ensuring your machines stay reliable, efficient, and ready to perform under any condition.
