Obtain the sample of drive axle lubricant as close as possible to the recommended sampling interval. The recommended sampling interval is every 500 service hours. In order to receive the full effect of S O S oil analysis, you must establish a consistent trend of data. In order to establish a pertinent history of data, perform consistent oil samplings that are evenly spaced.Do not use the drain stream method to obtain a sample of the drive axle lubricant. A stream of dirty oil from the bottom of the compartment will contaminate the sample. Likewise, never dip an oil sample from an oil container or pour a sample from a used filter.Two preferred methods are available for obtaining this sample:
Use an in-line sampling valve for pressurized oil systems.
Use a sampling gun that is inserted into the sump.ReferenceRefer to , "S O S Oil Analysis" in the Maintenance Section of this manual for more information about these sampling methods.ReferenceRefer to , "Lubricant Viscosities" in the Maintenance Section of this manual for the correct fluid for your machine.
