What the studies showed
29 000 kmOperating mileage of the in-service sample
The other parameters in the used-oil sample were assessed as within normal limits, with a recommendation to compare them with fresh oil. Water was detected in the fresh sample; the laboratory suggests this may relate to storage, transport or sampling. This observation is retained alongside the positive findings.
Conditions and methodology
In-service sampling and testing at MITs GSM. Conditions, methods and specific samples are detailed in the original documents.
The results relate to the specified samples and equipment. Operating mileage or hours in an individual trial do not constitute a recommended drain interval for other machines. Follow the equipment manufacturer's instructions and all comments in the test reports.

Laboratory observations for each test report
Test report No. 761522 · 10.04.2024
Comparison with fresh oil is needed for a more precise interpretation of additive package composition and base number. The other oil parameters are within normal limits. A fresh oil sample is recommended.
Test report No. 761523 · 15.04.2024
Water accumulation was detected. This may be due to failure to observe storage, transport or sampling procedures. The other parameters are typical of the stated oil type. More accurate interpretation of the results requires comparison with the same product of guaranteed quality, or with the full requirements for the lubricant and the quality certificate for this product.
