In general we feel that the sooner we can notify the operating and maintenance areas of existing or potential problems the sooner they can plan and react to the problems. As a corporate Reliability Centered Maintenance group we try to highlight improved equipment reliability through good planning and effective maintenance strategies. Early detection of equipment health issues is a part of that planning. We have used many different oil analysis labs, but they strictly provided a service to us. We never considered our lab a partner, until we started working with TestOil. We have a great relationship with several of their analysts and can call them if we ever have issues or questions. This had made a huge difference in the way we approach and solve problems.
