In engines, oil analysis can provide information concerning the condition of the air intake system by monitoring the silicon (dirt) levels in the oil. The levels of iron and aluminum can warn of piston and cylinder wear before a major failure occurs.

Bearing wear rates can be determined and action taken before the crankshaft becomes badly scored. Fuel dilution, anti‑freeze leaks and water entry can be detected while they are still minor problem

Oil sampling by a technician or a marine surveyor allows you to get a good look at the health of your engine without having to take it apart. Our marine engine oil analysis will show if your engine has any water intrusion, metal shavings, clutch wear, or indication of gear wear. So we can determine exactly what service your engine requires

Oil analysis means you’re always one step ahead of what your engine needs, so you avoid unplanned downtime and expensive repairs visit https://www.theoillab.co.uk/product-category/oil-testing/boat/

Why it is Important to have an Oil Analysis

Oil analysis protects profits and equipment. An important part of predictive maintenance, oil analysis helps manufacturing plants and heavy-duty construction companies to extend the machinery’s life and guarantee performance.

Oil analysis

Industry estimates demonstrate that 75% of repair costs and equipment downtime are traceable to the use of polluted lubricants and fuels. Companies can detect contamination and prevent their machines from failing by conducting periodic oil analysis.

Why do I need to get fuel tested? Testing your fuel is essential because in 2011 the EN590 fuel regulation was amended which has resulted in an increase in FAME biodiesel content and a decrease in sulphur content to almost zero, exposing fuel to the risk of a decrease in quality and an increase in contaminants.

Oil analysis is a series of laboratory tests used to evaluate the condition of lubricants and equipment components. By studying the results of the oil analysis tests, a determination of equipment/component condition can be made. Primarily, this is possible because of the cause-and-effect relationship of the condition of the lubricant to the condition of the component sampled

Today, oil analysis programs use modern technology and laboratory instruments to determine equipment condition and lubricant serviceability. Oil analysis uses state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to provide the user with invaluable information leading to greater equipment reliability.

Hydrocarbon-based fuels, like red diesel, white diesel and heating oil are at a high risk of degradation through absorbing water from moisture in the atmosphere. This is a huge problem for stored fuel as it causes free water to collect on the bottom of your tank and remain suspended within the fuel.

Water reacts with naturally occurring bacteria and causes sludge matter to accumulate and clog filters. All of this dramatically reduces fuel’s shelf life and necessitates the need for regular fuel testing.

We can test all types of fuels - please visit us on

Oil analysis is an excellent tool that can be used to direct maintenance decisions. The first step to successfully trend the oil condition is to take a sample of the oil in an unused condition. This step is usually overlooked, and its significance comes from the fact that the user is able to establish a baseline of all the elements present in the oil in an unused condition. It can also help the user identify poor oil storage practices by checking if contaminants such as water are present.

Certain elements can either be additives, contaminants or wear debris. Having a sample of new oil helps differentiate between additives and contaminants. It aids in trending the depletion of additives, oxidation and changes in oil viscosity as the oil ages - at the oil lab we can assist in all types of testing please visit us at https://www.theoillab.co.uk
