FEATURE STORY
Condition-based Oil Changes:
Perhaps your facility has a well-established oil analysis program that is providing
great results, but are you utilizing all of the information available in the reports?
If everything in a report is correct and within the specifi cations, do you do
anything else with the information? Do you still allow the time-based preventive mainte-
nance work order to change the oil and fi lter? If you answered "yes" to this question, you
could be wasting thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars per year on unnecessary
oil changes. You could also be introducing human error and creating more problems through
this needless maintenance.
