Does this equipment give reliable results for the analysis of used engine oil and hydraulic oil both?


You should contact the sales dep. in the different companies for the pricing questions. In our experience we have had some small problems with the laser component and we also have replaced the cell a couple of times the last 11 years. This I would consider as normal wear.

As a instrument for used oil analysis I would strongely recommend it. You may need some schooling to get the most of it, but if you decide for a dedicated Oil Analyzer it is usually easy.

The most usual analysis will detect Soot content, Additive deplition, Oxydation, Fuel contamination, Glycol, Nitration, and more
