Preventative Maintenance Fluid Analysis is an effective, inexpensive tool which provides information about the internal condition of the major components in vehicles and equipment.
OIL ANALYSIS is an accurate way to determine oil health, oil contamination and machine wear. It is a valuable preventative maintenance tool than can help identify potential problems before a major repair is necessary, while also potentially reducing the frequencies of oil changes.

1. Take samples while the equipment is running and at normal operating temperature.
2. Take samples from the same point and using the same procedure each time.
3. Don’t sample directly after an oil change or after a large quantity of make-up oil has been added.
4. Take samples from flowing lines between the lubricated device and before the oil filter.
5. Clean around the sample point and flush an adequate quantity of oil through the sample piping to insure a representative sample.
6. Use the sampling materials supplied. They are clean and hold the proper quantity for the required analysis.
7. If samples are taken using a vacuum pump, use new hose for every sample to avoid cross contamination between sample points.
8. Don’t hold samples. Send samples to the laboratory as soon as possible.

The Oil Analysis data saved me an oil change. I spoke with the staff at Hot Shot’s Secret. They reviewed the oil analysis data with me and gave me recommendations. I was able to add some TBN Booster to my oil rather than change the oil. Plus I could see that everything else regarding the oil and engine were looking good. I plan to do the Oil Analysis regularly. 1995 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins.

I have not received the oil analysis back to see the condition of the internal parts. I know the people will do a through job in performing the analysis. Thank you to the hot shot team.
