Also, water ingression can bring in other contaminants.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; While most oil manufacturers take great pains to ensure that their oil is clean; some are more diligent than others. Some customers choose to specify that new oil deliveries must meet a specified cleanliness level before it is accepted for use.&nbsp; A lubrication best practice is to filter the oil before placing it into service. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;\u201cWe were analyzing a sample from a turbine and it was failing demulsibility, when previously it had passed.\u201d Matt said. \u201cAfter further investigation, it was discovered that a recent oil delivery was made to the location. The new oil delivered was contaminated by a cleaner that was present in the tanker truck and not thoroughly rinsed out before the new oil was put into the tanker.\u201d&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Another customer had brand new oil with a very high particle count. \u201cIt looked like there were little glass beads in the oil,\u201d Matt said. \u201cWith further analysis, it was discovered that an additive was never correctly blended into the oil.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; An additional reason to test new oil is to ensure that the product was not mislabeled\u2014a scenario that can have disastrous results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;After testing the new oil you\u2019ll want to ensure you\u2019re understanding how to read the results. <a href=\"https:\/\/forms.testoil.com\/acton\/fs\/blocks\/showLandingPage\/a\/4748\/p\/p-00b5\/t\/page\/fm\/2?leadsource=Blog\">Download <em>Get the Picture<\/em> here to get started<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; TestOil recommends testing one drum of oil in each lot before first use with a routine test slate, including a particle count and acid number testing.
