MotorCheck OSA-II Analyzer - is good?

Read our primer articles on Oil Analysis and Tribology

Dear Sirs,
Could you please tell me that MotorCheck OSA-II Analyzer is good replacement for whole oil analysis laboratory? Or it is not enough for performing used oil analysis tests? What about advantages and disadvantages of this device in used oil analysis?
Best regards,
Marat (didicoi_2004@mail.ru)

Does not follow any ASTM method, not very good limit of detection, I heard is not reliable and has service issues. What about local support in your country? Look for other vendors and compare what many are doing for used oil analysis, their technologies, experience and support. Go to www.google.com and type used oil analysis instruments

Actually...The TruckCheck is compliant with ASTM D7417 “Standard Test Method Analysis of In-Service Lubricants Using Particular Integrated Tester (Atomic Emission Spectroscopy, Infrared Spectroscopy, and Viscosity)

TruckCheck (MotorCheck minus the DTV).....

I haven't heard bad things about it. I know the throughput is 35 samples a day? Can anyone confirm?

We currently use an OSA Microlab4 for mobile and stationary samples. 35 samples a day is attainable however we do not draw that many samples on a regular basis. We are only at 1000 samples for the year so far. A sample takes approximately 8 minutes to run through.

I have heard that in the past the support was not very good but we find it quite good. Very prompt and helpful.
