Engineered
Lubricants carries this same quality-driven philosophy to oil
analysis. "Oil never wears out" according to Don Wachter,
president of Engineered Lubricants. Recognizing that oil oxidation
and contamination can be controlled with proper monitoring and
subsequent action, Engineered Lubricant's laboratory opened its
doors for business in 1974 to support Mr.Wachter's vision of unlimited
life of oils. Engineered Lubricants provides its customers with
timely oil analysis information that enables important decisions
to keep the oil in top condition. A problem that is far more important
than generally recognized is the fact that additives do deplete as
they perform their function in the lubricant. Using the information
generated by the laboratory, Engineered Lubricants' application
engineers and chemists specify reconditioning measures to remove
contamination, and then supply the customer with an additive package
to restore the lubricant to like-new operating condition. In doing
so, the life of the lubricant is extended indefinitely if the
additives are reconstructed prior to basestock damage. As a result
waste oil is minimized, equipment reliability is assured and equipment
life-cycle costs are reduced. Engineered Lubricants' customer
offerings go beyond oil formulation and basic oil analysis. Recognizing
that the oil carries vital information about the condition of
the machine, they expanded the capabilities of the laboratory
to include numerous machine condition assessment tests, including
analytical ferrography.
