Engine oil is particularly Feller Bunchers Oxygen Taking Good Oil Samples susceptible to degradation by sulfur, nitration, by-products of combustion, high temperatures, Forest Machines and water from the combustion process or condensation. Oil Condition Analysis, part of a Helpful Sampling Tips Forwarders comprehensive oil analysis program, helps prevent component damage by monitoring your oil and keeping track of its degradation. Oil Condition Analysis also allows you to correct problems Engine Element Harvesters Sources that affect oil performance. The bottom-line benefit: maximum oil performance, optimum oil Hydraulic Excavators Transmission Element Sources change intervals and reduced repair costs. Oil Condition Analysis is performed on most oils from Industrial Loaders transmission, engine, and hydraulic systems. Coolant Analysis Knuckleboom Loaders Understanding Oil Condition Analysis Optimizing Oil Change Intervals Material Handlers Motor Graders Oil Condition Analysis is similar to Wear Rate Analysis with one important exception: It evaluates Multi Terrain Loaders chemical compounds in the oil rather than wear element particles. Off Highway Tractors Oil Condition Analysis is important for oil from all systems: transmissions and hydraulics, as well Off Highway Trucks as engines. Paving Equipment Pipelayers It works like this: Road Reclaimers You submit a sample of new oil from your source of supply (unused), called "reference oil," Scrapers when you initially enroll in the Macallister Machinery fluid analysis program and whenever Skid Steer Loaders you get new shipments of bulk oil. Reference oil samples are processed at no cost to you. If Skidders you are using Cat oil, reference oil samples may not be necessary. Advise your Macallister Machinery lab of the brand and viscosity rating of all oils used in various systems by Telehandlers submitting a reference sample for each different oil type. Each oil type should have its own Track Loaders oil reference sample registered with our lab. Inexpensive sampling kits can be purchased Track-Type Tractors at your local MacAllister Machinery location for this purpose. Cost for this kit is minimal Underground Mining since the analysis of reference (unused supply) oils is free. You can then indicate that the sample is a "reference" by checking the reference sample box to the right of the appropriate Wheel Dozers identification on the sample label. Indicate the oil brand and viscosity rating in Wheel Excavators compartment the appropriate section of the label. Wheel Loaders

Build & Quote a Cat Machine Rentals At each scheduled interval, you submit a sample of used oil and indicate the brand and Used Equipment viscosity rating on the information label. View Used Inventory The new oil is scanned by a special instrument using infrared light. Information is stored in

The Oil Condition Analysis instrument focuses a beam of light through a film of used oil and records the data.

The instrument uses a mathematical formula to compare the used and new oils and PARTS & SERVICE quantify any differences. PartStore - Buy Parts Online Ag Parts & Service Identifying Contaminants Before They Cause Problems AgChem Parts - SprayParts.com Oil Condition Analysis detects soot, oxidation, nitration products and sulfur products/acids. This AGCO Parts - AGCOPartsBooks.com test can also detect contamination by water, fuel and glycol from coolant. If detected, specific AGCOPartsBooks.com Registration contaminant tests are used to confirm findings.

Oil Condition Analysis focuses on: Soot

Service Capabilities Soot is found only in engine oil. It is the insoluble residue of partially burned fuel. It is held in Customer Support Agreements suspension Repair & Rebuild Options by the oil additive package and causes engine oil to turn black. When soot drops out of suspension in the oil, it contributes to additive depletion and eventually increases oil viscosity. Machine Fluid Analysis Heavy concentrations of soot can cause bearing damage by starving contact surfaces of SOLUTIONS Paperless Invoicing Oxidation Finance & Insurance Oxidation occurs in transmission, hydraulic and engine oils when oxygen molecules chemically Governmental join with oil molecules. This chemical reaction is accelerated by high oil temperatures, glycol Productivity & Technology contamination from engine coolant, the presence of copper, and from extended oil change intervals. Oxidation causes the oil to thicken, form acids, and lose lubrication qualities, which Tier 4 Emissions ONLINE TOOLS Ag Online Tools Nitration Products AgChem Parts - SprayParts.com AGCO Parts - AGCOPartsBooks.com Nitration occurs in all engine oils, but is generally only a problem in natural gas engines. AGCOPartsBooks.com Nitrogen Registration compounds from the combustion process thicken the oil and reduce its lubricating
ability. If nitration continues unchecked, it can result in filter plugging, heavy piston deposits, threatens the life of your components. Oxidized oil will cause deposits on engine pistons and valves, stuck rings, and bore polishing. In hydraulic systems and transmissions, it can cause valve scuffing and sticking. lubrication.

Registration SulfurOnline Products/Acids PartStore - Buy Parts Build & Quote a Cat Machine Sulfur is present in all fuels and affects all engines. During combustion, fuel sulfur oxidizes, and Equipment Manager then combines with water to form acid. Acid corrodes all engine parts, but is most dangerous to Equipment Data valves and valve guides, piston rings and liners. SOS Services Web Glycol, Water and Fuel Detection Document Review ABOUT When present in your engine oil or fluid power system, water, glycol (coolant) or fuel can indicate Contact Us a number of problems, from incorrect engine timing (fuel) to cooling system leaks. By detecting Locations these problems before they cause component failure, we can work with you to schedule Indianapolis (HQ) downtime and maximize productivity. Beech Grove Glycol (Coolant) Fort Wayne Lafayette Glycol causes rapid oxidation of the oil and usually indicates a cooling system leak. Severely South Bend oxidized oil becomes sticky and forms sludge that plugs me filter. Any amount of glycol contamination in the oil is unacceptable. Engines, hydraulics or transmissions using water-to-oil Terre Haute coolers may become contaminated with coolant if a leak develops in a cooler tube or seal.

placing a drop of oil on a plate heated to between 2300 and 2500 F. If water is present the oil will Careers bubble and sputter. By comparing the amount of bubbling to laboratory control samples, News & Events experienced laboratory technicians can determine the quantity of water in the sample. Any Upcoming Events amount over 0.5 percent is considered excessive. MacAllister NewsWater can contaminate a system by leaking in from the outside or condensing in the engine's Caterpillar News crankcase or compartment. When water combines with oil, it reduces the oil's ability to lubricate If infrared analysis indicates the presence of water, the approximate amount is determined by Fluid Contaminants

and forms a sludge that plugs filters. Water passing between very close components can create "hot spots." If the water gets hot enough, it causes tiny steam explosions that can fracture metal. Fuel

Fuel contamination is confirmed using a flash test in which the used oil is heated to a prescribed temperature in a closed cup, and then subjected to a flame. Fuel vapors driven off by the heat will flash if the dilution exceeds four percent. Fuel in the engine oil reduces its lubricating properties. Small amounts of fuel are common as a result of the combustion process. But if fuel levels exceed recommended levels, we will suggest a check for defective fuel injection nozzles and other sources of leakage. Fuel dilution is generally the result of extended idling, incorrect timing, or a problem with the fuel injectors, pumps or lines.
