PROPER OIL SAMPLING
How to take a good oil sample. Learn about proper oil sampling techniques.


USING OIL VALVE PROBE

Developed by Caterpillar, our SOS program helps you detect problems before they lead to costly repairs and downtime.
 
We recommend sampling fluid compartments every 250 hours and at each oil change. On-highway trucks should be sampled every 9000 miles (15000 KM) and at each oil change.
