7.3 Regular oil analyses
Oil analyses are not intended as a substitute for
the oil change intervals but – apart from a possible
reduction of maintenance costs and as a form of
preventive maintenance – they take into account
the increasing environmental awareness.
Advantages of an oil analysis
• Extension of the oil change intervals under
standard or light-duty operating conditions.
• Minimum wear of high-quality components with
optimum use of the lubricants.
• Periodic laboratory analyses enable an early
detection of imminent damage.
• Repairs performed before they actually become
absolutely necessary help prevent serious and
unexpected damage.
• Sequential damage can be avoided.
Oil analysis intervals
Periodic oil analyses reveal trends in the condition
of the oil and the machine.
When the scheduled oil change intervals have
been reached, the oils should be analyzed in the
following intervals to check their quality and thus
extend the oil change intervals:
• Hydraulic oil: 1,000 operating hours
• Transmission oil: 500 operating hours
• Engine oil: 100 operating hours
Based on the first results, the laboratory
recommends the interval for the next sampling.
Ask your Terex dealer for an information booklet
detailing the scope and procedures of the oil
analysis.
7.4 Warranty
During the warranty period thorough inspections
are stipulated, which must be carried out by trained
specialist dealer personnel.
The inspections are obligatory and must
be paid for.
The performance of inspections as
specified must be confirmed on the
