Inspection
Regular inspection of the lube oil is essential for
determining the engine’s working condition.
With the engine running, oil samples should
preferably be taken by the same man at some
60°C oil temperature.
Job:
Hold a waste container under hose connector (2).
Slacken bolt (1) until oil slowly comes out through
connector (2). Drain an initial quantity of 5 litres, so any
impurities will be removed from the filter body. Then
drain about 1 litre into a clean container and send this
in completely sealed condition to a laboratory with a
tag or label giving the following information:
● Engine model and serial No.
● Purpose appropriate of the engine
● Rated power and speed
● Total engine running hours
● Oil brand and grade
● Utilized fuel
● Oil viscosity
● Total oil service hours and refill quantity during
this period
Along with this sample of used oil, send in a sample
of the oil in fresh condition.
The analysis results should be taken as a
basis for arranging with the oil suppliers a
regular oil change period, taking also into
consideration the cleanliness of the lube oil
system, especially that of the engine’s crank-
case. Once the interior is coated with the oil
residues, this invariably calls for renewal of the
entire oil filling.
