See what’s happening inside your machine without disassembly and inspection. Fluid analysis services check for elevated contaminant levels in your oil, coolant and diesel. The results tell you about maintenance actions to take.
Holt of California provides S•O•SSM Services Fluid Analysis for Cat® and non-Cat equipment. We’ll analyze your samples in our advanced laboratories and explain the next steps. Our straightforward process makes it easy to stay on top of maintenance.
Your equipment’s fluids tell you about its condition, enabling you to make more informed choices about maintenance and repairs. Oil sample testing may indicate which part has degraded so you can replace one part rather than many. If issues arise, you can plan repairs to fit your schedule rather than enduring an unexpected breakdown.
The analysis also tells you about the state of the fluid and replaceable components like filters. You can use the information to optimize replacement schedules. Over time, as you analyze fluids, you’ll build detailed service records. This valuable information serves the next equipment owner. These records help you increase your resale value.
We analyze three types of fluids in Cat and non-Cat equipment:
Start the Cat S•O•SSM fluid analysis process by taking a sample of your fluids. You may use various sampling methods, such as a vacuum pump or valve probe. Once you take a sample, send it in a labeled container to our labs.
Once we receive your sample, we will test it using ASTM methods and industry-leading instrumentation. We provide a quick turnaround and easy-to-understand interpretations, so you know the steps to take.
Our reports begin with an overall urgency evaluation followed by interpretations and recommendations, giving you actionable advice. They also include individual test results, so you gain a detailed look at your fluid conditions.
