3-7. Army Oil Analysis Program

a. General.

(1) The Army Oil Analysis Program is part of a DOD-wide effort to detect impending

equipment component failures and lubricant condition through periodic analysis of

oil samples.

(2) Oil analysis helps determine the internal condition of engines, gearboxes, trans-

missions, and other oil-lubricated system sand components. Your tank is included

in the program.

(3) Just like a doctor checks your blood for diseases, your expert Army laboratory

technicians analyze your oil sample to tell you what is going on inside your engine

and the condition of your oil.

Purpose.

(1) To detect potential component failure.

(2) T O reduce maintenance costs through preventive maintenance - prior to major

repair.

(3) To develop a data bank relating to component wear or failure.

Procedures.

Refer to TB 43-0211.

NOTE

Be sure to identify each oil sample with the engine serial

number and tank serial number.
