Advice for Preventing Oil Contamination |
|
Replacing flat washers with crush washers is an excellent way to prevent oil contamination in gearboxes. The crush washers provide a much better seal than regular flat washers for not much more expense. This is a cheap improvement that can go a long way. (Cale Taylor, Reliability Mech. Engineer, Michelin)

Energy Conservation & Lubricants |
|
From "Lubrication and Maintenance of Industrial Machinery"
With few exceptions, lubricants and lubrication methods that reduce energy consumption will also reduce heat and wear debris generation; however, the reverse may not hold true. When heat and wear debris are reduced, less stress is imposed on additives and the base oil. The result will be longer thermal and oxidative stability, and in turn, longer oil drains, lower oil consumption, and the ancillary costs associated with oil changes (as much as 40 times the cost of the lubricant itself!)

New Oil 16X Dirtier than Recommended? |
|
I'm sure many of you are aware that new oil is not always clean oil; and if you're not, you should be! Unless a lubricant supplier has taken special precautions while blending, filling the barrel (or other transfer vessel) and distribution, it is likely that the oil you are using is three to four ISO codes or eight to 16 times dirtier than recommended for critical applications. Likewise, many oils contain two to four times the maximum amount of water advisable for components sensitive to free and emulsified water.
