• The Oil Condition Analysis determines the loss of
the oils lubricating properties. An infrared analysis
is used to compare the properties of new oil to the
properties of the used oil sample. This analysis
allows technicians to determine the amount of
deterioration of the oil during use. This analysis
also allows technicians to verify the performance
of the oil according to the specification during the
entire oil change interval.

Diesel Fuel Requirements
Perkins is not in a position to evaluate continuously
and monitor all worldwide distillate diesel fuel
specifications that are published by governments and
technological societies.
Perkins Specification for Distillate Diesel Fuel in table
14 provides a known reliable baseline to judge the
expected performance of distillate diesel fuels that
are derived from conventional sources.
Satisfactory engine performance depends on the use
of a good quality fuel. The use of a good quality fuel
will give the following results: long engine life and
acceptable exhaust emissions levels. The fuel must
meet the minimum requirements that are stated in
table 14 .

tion for Distillate Diesel Fuel Table. Read ALL of the
