This TOP describes the procedures for conducting oil analysisduring vehicle testing to include the following:a. Physical Property Tests: water contamination, viscosity, acid/basenumber, fuel contamination by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Particle Count analysis : on hydraulic fluid used in Spectrometric Oil analysis : wear metals in lubricating oil, additivepackages depletion, identification of other non-metal contaminants such assilicon and Ferrography.

7 Identification of wear metal particles forcharacterization (type of wear), foreign contamination (grease, coal,--asbestos, carbon flakes), and quantitative analysis (wear particleconcentration of large size particles to small size) to evaluate acceleratedwear preceding component Fourier Transform Infrared analysis : identification of oil type,monitoring additive package depletion, contamination by water, fuel,antifreeze, monitoring soot buildup and oil analysis information provides interval monitoring of the quality ofthe oil taken from various fluid-wetted components. Results will aid in theearly detection of impending failures.

REQUIRED TEST Field Test Inform laboratory personnel of incoming vehicle test items requiringoil analysis . This is to be done through a memorandum with backgroundinformation (type of oil to be used throughout seasonal testing) and any lubeorders that might accompany the Ensure that upon arrival of the vehicle, during the initialservicing, an oil sample is taken and submitted to the laboratory for baselineor identification checks.

10 Give particular attention to the engine andtransmission systems. During initial or routine inspection, a sample from theoriginal container used to replenish the lubricants should be submitted. Manymanufacturers use various kinds/concentrations of additive packages, making itdifficult to establish a good trend. Therefore, it is recommended that avirgin oil sample be submitted to ensure that the correct oil is Establish sampling points according to the lube orders and followsampling technique as outlined in TB-43-0211* and TM Prelabel oil bottles (NSN 8125-01-082-9697) with pertinent --information ( , vehicle identification, model number, date collected,engine hours/miles since last oil change, amount of oil added since lastsample, and test director).
