Bobcat Fluids Analysis Program

Fluids analysis helps to identify minor problems before they become major failures. Analysis programs for oil and fuel are currently available. Each program provides reports and insights that can help you understand the current operating status of your machine better. Taking samples is fast and easy. Detailed management reports are available online shortly after samples have been processed, while customized dashboards make it easy to compare historical data. To learn more about the benefits and testing process, contact your local dealer.

Oil Analysis

Imagine being able to examine what’s happening inside an engine, gearbox, or hydraulic system without disassembly. With the oil analysis program, you will be able to monitor the internal operating conditions of your equipment simply by taking samples of your oil. To purchase the Bobcat Oil Analysis Kit and supplies, contact your local dealer.

Oil Analysis will:

  • Identify contaminants: Wear-causing contamination in your oil can negatively effect your equipment’s internal operating environment. Identifying contaminations is important to the wear life of your equipment.
  • Ensure lubricant integrity: Monitoring lubricant properties helps eliminate “lube mixing” and ensures that your oil performs as it should.
  • Identify minor problems before they become major failures: State-of-the-art oil analysis identifies dirt, wear particles, fuel dilution and coolant – contaminants that can cause catastrophic failure or significantly shorten equipment life.
  • Maximize asset reliability: Analysis data ensures that units are up, running and making money.
  • Increase resale value: Analysis results provide valuable maintenance history documentation that easily justifies higher equipment resale values.

logged at the lab, you can track their progress online.

Fuel Analysis

Many diesel engine problems can be traced back to the quality of diesel fuel. Contaminants like wax crystals, water, asphaltines, bacteria fungi and mold can damage to your machine’s engine. Harmful effects can include smoking, clogged filters and loss of power. However, fuel tests can help identify issues before they cause damage to your machine. Fuel tests can be completed at your shop or your dealer’s service department. To learn more about fuel analysis and to order a test kit, contact your local dealer.
