Oil Sample Reading

Horizon Sample Oil Chart Reading

If you own your own Tractor trailer rig, you already know you can catch a coolant leak before it becomes a breakdown and a more expensive repair . Amsoil has sample kits available, bottle, form, and mailing envelope all in one convient package.

Great! However, knowing what the report means is essential also. Recently, Horizon sent me a short training video on how to read oil sample charts. The video is not a science class but does give you a basic understanding of all the different "material" Horizon testing does show. Also explaining a relationship between contaminants, wear, and lubricants.

One word of caution; by adding different oils or additives during the testing period will most likely cause inaccurate testing. If you have, make a note of the oil or additives you used during the sample period on your sample record.
