Verify Lube Storage Life Limits
|
|
|
|
Most lubricants have supplier-recommended shelf lives based largely upon the lubricant's additive package. For example, lubricants containing rust inhibitors may lose performance after as little as six months in storage. Conversely, some turbine fluids with a light additive dose may be shelved for up to three years. Shelf life information is typically available from your lubricant supplier and/or manufacturer.

If you do not have immediate access to skilled, trained and certified lubrication technicians, it may be time to look into contracting out this function. A good contractor not only can provide trained and certified lube techs but can also help you develop procedures for your lubrication-related tasks as well as implement, maintain and manage your lubrication program.

There's a reason your oil container has an expiration date. Particles and dirt compromise an oil's benefits, but so does age. Additives separate within oil, viscosity changes, etc. Learn the facts in Oil Analysis II.

Commercial engine cleaners can be chemically aggressive and strip additive films off components, leading to increased engine wear. Engine cleaners may also have adverse effects on the oil, such as lowering the viscosity and neutralizing additives.
