Oil Analysis:

Machines require oil the same way the human body requires blood. Much like blood, oil needs to be tested regularly to ensure everything is performing to the highest expectations. It is important to understand the health status of your equipment and maximize your oil consumption. 

Oil analysis through Stern Company informs our clients on both the condition of the oil and the condition of the component in which it is used.  Take the guess work out of your preventative maintenance program by utilizing used oil analysis to enhance longevity and performance. 

Without utilizing this tool, you may run into unplanned downtime and expensive repairs. Get the most out of your oil by contacting one of our service representatives to build a customized plan for you.
