Natrib has Spectroil RDE & RFS Spectrometers.
RDE measures particles up to 10 micron size.
RFS measures coarse particles.RDE and RFS datas
are not Comparable to ICP/AAS wear datas,since
ICP/AAS measures below 5 micron size particles.
If you get the oil analysis done by ICP and
try to compare it with natrib data,will lead to
wrong interpretation.The bottomline is increased
maintenance cost.I advice you to read machinery
oil analysis by Larry Toms.

Good Luck

You may want to follow suit of the US Navy, Marines, Air Force and National Guard and utilize an in-house oil analysis instrument to extend drain intervals of their vehicle fleets.

The OilCheck detects and measures the dielectric constant of oil. By comparing the measurements obtained from used and unused oils of the same brand, the TMEH1 OilCheck is able to determine the degree of change in the condition of the oil.

Dielectric change is directly related to the degradation and the contamination level of the oil and will allow the user to achieve optimized intervals between oil changes and detect increased mechanical wear and loss of the oils lubricating properties.
