Step 1 Limpie el conector rpido con un trapo y remueva cualquier suciedad.

Step 2 Conecte la manguera con valvula para el muestreo
Step 3 Con el aceite a temperatura de operacin y el motor en mnimo, abra la
vlvula y permita que el aceite salga de la manguera a un balde. Aprox. 1 Litro.
Step 4- Asegurarse que el conjunto de manguera este limpio. Tome un frasco para
muestrear, abra la valvula y colecte aproximadamente 120ml de aceite de motor.
Step 5 Cierre la valvula para detener el flujo. Tape el frasco y asegurelo. Remueva el
conjunto manguera valvula. Limpie la valvula con un trapo limpio para remover
cualquier exceso de fluido.
Step 6 Complete la informacion en la etiqueta del frasco.

Informacin de la etiqueta
Complete toda la informacin de la etiqueta, ponga particular
atencion al cdigo/serie del equipo/motor fecha del muestreo
horas del motor, horas del aceite, marca del aceite, tipo de
aceite, y cualquier comentario que tenga.
Asegurarse de marcar, identificar el frasco con la etiqueta
correcta.
Asegurese de tapar y embalar la botella correctamente para el
traslado.

Nitration and Oxidation

Nitration indicates excessive "blow-by" from cylinder walls and/or
compression rings. It also indicates the presence of nitric acid, which
speeds up oxidation. Too much disparity between oxidation and nitration
can point to air to fuel ratio problems. As oxidation / nitration increases, so
will total acid number and viscosity, while total base number will begin to
decrease. Nitration is primarily a problem in natural gas engines.

Oxidation measures the breakdown of a lubricant due to age and

operating conditions. It prevents additives from performing properly,
promotes the formation of acids and increases viscosity.

10

TAN/TBN
Total Acid Number/Total Base Number
Acid Number is the amount of acid present. Values higher than that of
the new lubricant is an indication of oxidation or contamination.

Base Number measures a lubricant's alkaline reserve, or ability to

neutralize acid. When Acid Number and Base Number approach the same
number, the oil should be changed or new oil should be added.

11

Fuel Dilution% and Soot%

Fuel Dilution is the amount of raw, unburned fuel that ends up in
the crankcase. It lowers an oil's viscosity and flash point - creating
friction-related wear almost immediately by reducing film strength.

Soot is also reported in % of volume and can indicate reduced

combustion efficiency. Soot can be caused by over-fueling, air
restrictions, blow-by, excessive engine brake use and/or excessive
exhaust backpressure.

12

Viscosity
Viscosity measures a lubricant's resistance to flow (fluid
thickness) at temperature and is considered an oil's most
important physical property. Depending on lube grade, viscosity is
tested at 40 and/or 100 Celsius.

Elemental Analysis by ICP (inductively-coupled plasma) detects

13

up to 24 metals, measuring less than 5 in size, that can be present in

used oil due to wear, contamination or additives. Wear Metals include
iron, chromium, nickel, aluminum, copper, lead, tin, cadmium, silver,
titanium and vanadium. Contaminant Metals include silicon, sodium, and
potassium. Multi-Source Metals include molybdenum, antimony,
manganese, and lithium. Additive Metals include boron magnesium,
calcium, barium, phosphorous and zinc. Elemental Analysis is
instrumental in determining the type and severity of wear occurring within
a unit.
