Tip for Determining the Oil Level
 
On equipment with vented tube sight glasses, it's sometimes hard to determine the oil level. This may be due to poor lighting or a dusty environment. On the next inspection, try removing the tube and glass. Clean the inside of the tube with a degreaser and color the inside with a white or bright-colored marker that is compatible with your oil. A felt-tip, white metal-marking stick works great because it allows you to get inside the tube channel. Equipment oil levels will be easier to detect with the lighter background. (Spencer Anderson, TLNA A.E. Staley)

Speaking to Your Base ... Number
 
An oil's base number tends to drop over its lifespan, as additives are depleted and acid contamination begins to take its toll. However, tests occasionally reveal that an oil's base number has risen. What can cause this?

How Speed Affects Grease Life
 
From "Grease Lubrication in Rolling Bearings":

Grease life decreases with increasing speed. In the case of fully flooded conditions, the film thickness increases with increasing speed, and it is therefore believed that starvation is the mechanism behind this effect. In some papers, the decreasing time between successive over-rollings with the corresponding decreasing time for replenishment is given as an explanation for a decreasing film thickness with speed. This is unlikely to be the only reason.
