Preventative maintenance:
Tigercat's advanced oil analysis program

The Tigercat Advanced Oil Analysis Program applies to all major machine components including engines, hydraulic circuits, axles, final drives and gearboxes.

Studies have shown that it is possible to receive a ten to one payback when looking at the amount saved on repair costs to the amount invested in a scheduled oil analysis program.

Benefits of the Tigercat oil sampling program:

  • Detect problems before they become catastrophic failures.
  • Increase ability to schedule downtime and forecast cost of repairs.
  • Monitor maintenance schedules, practices and confirm that the required maintenance is being done on time.
  • Increase used equipment value by providing proof of proper maintenance.

The oil analysis program uses the most modern technology available. Most test results are available within 24 hours after receipt of the sample and are supplied in an easy to understand report which calls for specific action and makes detailed recommendations. The report is available by mail, fax, via email and can be viewed over the internet.

Each Kit Includes:

  • 12 Pre-paid sample bottles and sample information forms. Pre-printed mailing labels are also included to ensure all samples are quickly returned directly to the lab for immediate analysis and results within 24 hours of receipt.
  • The same sample bottle can be used for all types of oil testing including hydraulic circuits,fFinal drives, axles, gearboxes, engines, etc.
  • To ensure accurate and meaningful results are obtained, each kit also includes detailed instructions on how to properly collect, prepare and ship the oil samples.

Contact your Tigercat dealer parts department to order oil sampling kits and take advantage of this excellent preventative maintenance tool.
