Precision oil analysis now available in collaboration with POLARIS Laboratories®

When it comes to the Heavy-Duty sector, maximising uptime and maintaining performance throughout the lifespan of equipment and machinery is critical to success. Here at Wolf Lubricants, we are investing in the future of our Heavy-Duty offering with an exciting new service for customers worldwide.

We are thrilled to be launching LubriScan, an all-new oil analysis service. It is the result of a technical and strategic partnership with POLARIS Laboratories ®, a respected name in the OEM business which provides laboratory testing services.

The service will help Wolf customers to reduce costs, improve uptime, and extend the lifespan of their machinery.


The importance of oil analysis

Lubrication is one of the most critical aspects of HD machinery maintenance. To better understand how lubricants age in specific working and environmental conditions, oil analysis is essential. Effective oil analysis and the implementation of recommended maintenance strategies have been proven to reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by maximizing machinery lifespan and minimizing unplanned shutdowns.

World-leading oil analysis service

LubriScan is a new service offered to Wolf customers and facilitated by our technical collaboration with POLARIS Laboratories®. It aims to support customers around the world to keep their equipment protected and running at maximum performance, thereby boosting productivity.

  • We have designed the service to offer different levels of analysis and it can be tailored to customer requirements. Whether you are operating in a harsh environment or using particularly complex machinery, we can analyze your oil and make insightful maintenance recommendations.
  • LubriScan can also include Total Base Number (TBN) analysis, which is critical to determining optimised oil change timing – a metric of particular importance to regions with more acidic fuels, such as the Middle East and Africa.

How does LubriScan work?

The process of analysing oil has never been simpler. We have worked with POLARIS Laboratories® to streamline the system and achieve results within 48 hours.

  1. Customers order sample bottles from their local Wolf distributor.
  2. Once samples are collected, customers will ship these to POLARIS Laboratories®
  3. Analysis is completed within 48 hours and the results are shared directly with customers via email.
  4. Technical engineers will offer additional insight and recommendations where required.
