[QUOTE="Idoitall, post: 7132, member: 836"] I come from an industrial background (Chemical) with a ton of rotating equipment and we took oil samples religiously and had them anaylzed to determine what metals and other contaminants were present. This data was used to help track wear, follow up oil changes and potential maintenance. Commomly known as Preventative Maintenance, or PM. I read a lot of post here on problems related in one way or another to the oils in the systems, usually the hydraulic or chain case. I hear about plugged filters and changing cartridge filters a lot, and plugged or cleaning bronze filters, etc. Metal particles are mentioned too. I was wondering if oil analysis is common, or ever done in the skid steer industry, most likley by the dealers. Sounds like this could be a good thing here. There is a wealth of information about the machine's condition in the data. [/QUOTE]
