Choose Oil Containers Carefully
Avoid the use of galvanized oil storage and dispensing containers. The zinc in the galvanizing can act as a catalyst to promote lubricant oxidation and premature depletion of critical additives. There are many other types of more chemically stable platings for metal containers. Stainless steel or plastics are also suitable alternatives. (Ron Behnke, General Mills)

Hydraulic Pump Change-out Strategies
Since running a hydraulic pump to failure is never a good idea, because there is always the risk of consequential damage to other components, and the pump’s rebuild cost increases significantly, learn how to manage pump change-outs in a way that minimizes this risk while reliable, historical data on achieved service life is collected.

Measuring Viscosity with Onsite Viscometers
Because the viscosity of an oil is probably its single most important property, it makes sense to measure viscosity frequently, using onsite test equipment. However, like all onsite equipment, it’s important to understand how these instruments work and their relative strengths and weaknesses.
