When your job is to manage, protect and optimize some of the largest, most complex and expensive equipment in the industry, every operational decision you make is critical, especially when it comes to the lubricant.
The lubricant plays a key role in overall productivity:
In many cases, when you commit to a lubricant, it’s likely a decision you live with for many years. It’s no wonder maintenance engineers or technicians are more inclined to stick with what they know, even if there may be a better option available.
The prospect of switching can be daunting, but it doesn’t have to be.
We focus on the expertise, tools and resources necessary to make the transition as seamless and painless as possible. Ultimately, we want operators to get the most out of their equipment and that includes choosing the best lubricants for the job, which may mean making a switch.
Here are the top 5 concerns that our customers raise when considering a lubricant switch and how we are able to help:
Making a complete lubricant switch is a big deal. From research, certifications and approvals to testing, employee training and eventual change-outs, there’s a lot to consider throughout the process – it doesn’t happen overnight.
Our Sales and Technical Services teams have helped support hundreds of companies. During the transition, our Technical Services team can become an extension of your team, to help address each unique need at any given stage.

This provides the opportunity for specific recommendations, which can also include formal letters of approval or any necessary documentation. From there, we may be able to help with any compatibility testing, trialing and, of course, ongoing support during the complete transition.
Maintaining effective oil monitoring is essential for today’s operations. Therefore, when making a switch, customers need to be sure they have the right support to either implement or continue their analysis programs.
Our approach to oil monitoring is designed to match each of our customers’ individual needs.
