Evan Zabawski, Senior Technical Advisor, Eurofins TestOil
Description
Some lubrication systems will experience a rapid darkening of their lubrication shortly after either a hardware or a fluid change. Treating the fluid in this new state merely addresses the symptom, but this presentation aims to enlighten attendees as to its likely root cause. Two common, but often overlooked, possibilities will be presented in an educational format to help attendees understand why they happen and how to correct or avoid this issue.
