| Advice for Lubricant Selection |
|
| The main factor that limits the use of mineral oils in high-temperature applications is their oxidation stability rather than the viscosity thinning or thermal stability. In the presence of air, it generally is not advisable to use mineral oils in any application at temperatures above 200 degrees F (93 degrees C).

| There are two basic approaches for dealing with environmental safety with regards to lubricants. The first is to find ways to eliminate the disposal of lubricants into the environment. The second is to use environmentally safe products in environment-sensitive applications such as agriculture, forestry, municipalities, mining, marine, etc. The different terms floating across industry to measure/evaluate environmentally safe products are not well-defined and need better understanding. |

From "Maintenance, Replacement and Reliability: Theory and Applications, Second Edition":
One of the first steps in the use of quantitative techniques in maintenance is to determine the objective of the study. Once the objective is determined, whether to maximize profit/unit time, minimize downtime/unit time, maximize the availability of protective devices subject to budgetary constraints, and so on, an evaluative mathematical model can be constructed that enables management to determine the best way to operate the system to achieve the required objective. |
