HOW TO USE
Follow equipment manufacturer’s
recommendations for maintenance
procedures and operational use. To
ensure longest possible life for
lubricating fluids, sample analysis is
recommended.

When utilized on a regular basis
(suggest three month intervals),
sample analysis can track normal
aging and depletion of antioxidants in
lubricating fluids. Sample analysis
may identify abnormal contamination
that may be affecting lubricant or
equipment life. Contact Dow Corning
customer service for additional
information.
