STORAGE AND TREATMENT OF OILS
Usually, lubricants containers are built so
as to prevent any contamination. When
the user receives the lubricant, it is his/
her responsibility not to let it spoil or get
polluted. Lubricant can get damaged
because of:
– dust and dirt;
– condensation, specially by absorbing
humidity from the air;
– extreme temperatures;
– mixture with other oil types.
It is to be noted that dirt in the oil reduces
its eciency and encourages the wear of
those parts it comes in to contact with while
increasing the need for maintenance.On the
contrary, condensation cancels the eect
of some preservatives often present in very
limited quantities. Oil containers should be
stored in protected rooms so as not to be
exposed to extreme temperatures.
!
WARNING !!!
Absolutely avoid the mixing of
dierent grades and quality oils.
Although looking similar, they may be
incompatible between them.

not only represent a waste, but they can
