Dependant on results, laboratory will usually make

maintenance record and file report for future reference.
13 QSK60G / Data & Specs / KLD / April 2010 / REV 1.01.
 Used Lube Oil Analysis

A used lube oil sample must be taken at every 250 hours (6 months), or
20% of oil change interval once established for the site. Oil change
interval can vary dependant on environmental conditions, such as:
• High or low ambient air temperatures,
• Air condition (dust levels, etc.),
• Engine application and duty cycle.
In summary, a used Lube Oil Analysis can be used to:
• Help diagnose internal engine damage,
• Monitor engine lube oil condition - Premature oil change may be
required if oils protective properties have deteriorated.
(Maximum oil change interval is dependent on Genset model. The
intervals stated in the O&M Manual is maximum even with good regular
oil sample reports).
14 QSK60G / Data & Specs / KLD / April 2010 / REV 1.01.
 Used Lube Oil Analysis

• Ensure that the area that the sample is to be taken from is clean.
• Run the engine to normal operating temperature and using a suitable
container, take a sample of lube oil of at least 0.125 litres.
• Label the sample as described on next slide and submit to a reputable
local oil analysis laboratory.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
Hot oil, use suitable personal protective equipment when taking samples.
Do NOT disassemble an engine for repair based only on the results of an oil
analysis. Inspect the oil filters also. If the oil filters show evidence of internal
engine damage, find the source problem and repair the damage.

15 QSK60G / Data & Specs / KLD / April 2010 / REV 1.01.

 Used Lube Oil Analysis

LUBE OIL ANALYSIS - WORK RULES:

• Always sample from a hot engine, pre-filter, before adding oil to

compensate for consumption or before oil change.
• Use a sterile, air tight, container (minimum 0.125litre). Attach a label!
• Sample from the Lube Oil Module - before the filters - using a suitable tap
(customer supplied) fitted to the Lube Oil Thermostat Housing.
Alternatively, draw oil through the dipstick tube using a syringe and tube
of suitable length to take oil sample from middle of sump.
• Supply the following identification and information:
Engine Make - Type - Serial No - Type of use & engine hours - Fuel type.
Sample Date - Sample conditions (at oil change / intermediate)
Engine Hours - Oil hours - Oil brand & name - Oil Viscosity (SAE)
Oil top-up quantities since last oil change - Recent maintenance.

IMPORTANT - Protect your engine;

 Coolant Freezing
 Internal Corrosion
 Solder Blooming
 Liner and Block pitting (Cavitation)

Check - Every 500 hrs or 6 Months.

 Use the manufacturers proprietary test kit.
OR
 Use a manufacturers coolant analysis program.

• If mixing your own coolant, use distilled or deionized water or equivalent as specified in the O&M manual
and the Cummins Coolant Requirements and Specification Service Bulletin 3666132
• Change coolant and flush system every three years
• Coolant/antifreeze must comply with Cummins Engineering Standard 14603
• Coolant should be tested at least twice per year

Water treatment is essential where different metals are used (steel, aluminium, etc.) so as to
prevent galvanic corrosion. Distilled water without additives absorbs carbon dioxide from air
and promotes corrosion.
Caution: It is mandatory to treat cooling water, failure to comply invalidates warranty. The
above products provide anti-corrosion layer and antifreeze protection
