Oil Analysis: The Key to Objective Damage Detection and Root Cause Analysis

Engine oils are more than just lubricants—they provide valuable information on oil aging, abnormal changes in oil caused by problematic combustion conditions, and even wear processes and component damage. Professional oil analyses do more than just detect engine damage early on. In addition, they help determine the causes of damage and, based on technical correlations, objectively establish whether the oil was a contributing factor, whether oil change intervals were significantly exceeded, or whether an engine malfunction was the cause of the damage. This seminar provides automotive experts with the necessary expertise to competently interpret oil analysis results and apply them in damage assessments.

  • Gain comprehensive expertise in interpreting oil analysis results
  • Understanding the Causal Relationships Between Oil Condition and Engine Condition
  • Detect damage ranging from damage to lubricated components to engine damage
  • Proving or Ruling Out Damage Caused by Oil Leaks
  • Properly evaluate and interpret analysis results
  • Professionally Integrating Oil Analyses into the Preparation of Expert Reports

 

Three people in different positions with shadows, next to them the words “Target group.”

Automotive experts who wish to deepen their knowledge of engine oils and oil analysis and apply that knowledge specifically to damage assessments.
