Because the market has a range of options and prices, choosing the right oil filter can be a challenge. Often, those who purchase oil filters base their choice solely on price, willing to sacrifice filter performance and longevity in the name of short-term savings.

Typical new oils meet specs for performance and viscosity—but not cleanliness. That third spec is compromising your equipment and costing your business.

More than likely, the oil isn’t foaming because it is hot, but rather the oil is hot because it is foaming. Still, the root cause of the foaming must be determined. Consider that the foam is displacing the oil, and the equipment is being starved of oil and creating the heat.

At the heart of almost every industrial facility are electric motors, which can render equipment inoperative should their rolling element bearings fail—an occurrence more common than necessary due to strain resulting from improper lubrication.

One of the best proactive measures you can take is to develop a preventive maintenance checklist for each of your hydraulic systems. By checking your systems on a regular basis, you’ll often find a failing component before it causes a shutdown of the machine.

Lube Tip

Is it alright to mix an R&O hydraulic oil with an AW hydraulic oil in a hydraulic application?
Mixing oils with different additive packages is never recommended. Doing so could compromise the additive performance of both constituents, cause corrosion of component surfaces and lead to increased mechanical wear. And, trending of some oil analysis properties will be compromised. In a pinch, if the oils are the same viscosity, you may be able to get away with mixing for a short time. If you must mix the oils or live with an accidental mixture until the next scheduled outage, take the following precautions:
1. Visually inspect for signs of sludging, poor demulsibility and foaming.
2. Increase the frequency of oil analysis to spot abnormal wear, corrosion or lubricant degradation.
3. Flush and change the oil as quickly as possible. A drain leaves 5% to 40% of the old oil in the system, therefore a flush will need to be performed.
4. Keep up the frequent inspections and oil analysis to be sure that the oil stabilizes.
