Machinery Lubrication & Oil Analysis Workshop

[M.D. Holloway]

I'm doing a Machinery Lubrication & Oil Analysis Workshop near you.

Those responsible for oil sampling, reviewing oil analysis reports and performing the correct tests, and maintaining overall care of equipment/maintenance actions will gain excellent insight into oil analysis and equipment lubrication. This seminar provides training on lubrication fundamentals, oil sampling, oil cleanliness and contamination control as well as a data interpretation overview. Attendees taking this class will be prepared to take one of the following certification exams: the OMA I (STLE’s Oil Monitoring Analyst I) or the MLT I (ICML’s Machinery Lubrication Technician).

Wow. That's a lot of oil talk.

If you are in Portland, OR on Saturday stop by cars and coffee at World of Speed in Wilsonvile.

Michael,

I run almost 5 gallons of Red Line 40 wt. race oil in my race car. What is the best way for me to tell when I should change it out? Guys with wet sump systems (4 - 6 quarts) often change oil after every event. That just doesn't make sense to me for my setup and the cost would be crazy.

Also, I see you will be ending your seminar on the second Thursday of the month. If you like, join us at the Taproom.

a 6 oz sample will provide you info on 20 different metals in the oil (some from wear, some contaminates, some found in the oil), fuel in the oil, viscosity and oxidation information. One sample won't tell too much but if you take a few over a period of time you can establish a trend.

What analysis lab do you like best for race car applications?
