Analysis of Engine Oil Properties
For many years of trouble-free engine operation, Mitsubishi offers engine oil analysis service. This service
provides detailed information of your engine condition by analyzing a sample of engine oil collected from
your engine with special oil sampling tools.
The engine oil analysis service can provide the following information:
• It can detect the amount of extremely fine metal powder in engine oil which could result from friction. This
information helps you to locate abnormally worn internal engine parts.
• It can detect water, LLC or salt in the engine oil, which should not be contained in the engine oil.
• It can provide the information of engine oil degradation. This information helps you to arrange proper oper-
ating conditions and maintenance and to plan the most appropriate oil change intervals.
The engine oil analysis service is designed to diagnose the internal condition of an engine, which previously
required engine disassembly. It is highly recommended to take advantage of our engine oil analysis service
so you can understand your engine condition before the engine manifests abnormalities or malfunctions.
Engine Oil Sampling Tool Sets and Ordering Procedure
The oil sampling pump is reusable, but a new oil
sample bottle and new suction pipe must be used
each time.
Order an engine oil sampling tool set through the regular parts ordering channel. The analysis fee is included
in the price of the sample oil bottle. Note that an oil sample will not be analyzed unless it is contained in the
specified oil sample bottle.
There will be an additional charge for the analysis of optional items.
