Regular oil analyses
Oil analyses are not intended as a substitute for the
oil change intervals but – apart from a possible
reduction of maintenance costs and as a form of
preventive maintenance – they take into account the
increasing environmental awareness.
Advantages of an oil analysis
– Extension of the oil change intervals under
standard or light-duty operating conditions.
– Minimum wear of high-quality components with
optimum use of the lubricants.
– Periodic laboratory analyses enable an early
detection of imminent damage.
– Repairs performed before they actually become
absolutely necessary help prevent serious and
unexpected damage.
– Sequential damage can be avoided.
How often should the oil be analyzed?
Periodic oil analyses reveal trends in the condition of
the oil and the machine. The oils should be analyzed
at the following intervals:
– Hydraulic oil: 1000 operating hours
– Transmission oil: 500 operating hours
– Engine oil: 100 operating hours
Based on the first results, the laboratory recommends
the interval for the next sampling. Ask your Terex
dealer for an information booklet detailing the scope
and procedures of the oil analysis.
