equipment failures are directly or indirectly
associated with contaminated oil. So, its
important to ensure oil cleanliness at every
stage of your lubrication strategy.

received the right product no matter whats
written on the label. The question is how can new
oils be contaminated?

How New Oils Get Contaminated
From packaging to the transporting process, new
oils can get contaminated. The best practice is
to sample your new oil, at least one sample per
batch. Your machines are precious assets and
lubrication is their oxygen. Here is what you can
do to keep your new oils clean.

room, and there must be correct lubrication
handling and storage procedures in place.

indoor at a place where the chances of particle
ingression is minimum.
