Champion Brands Offers Free Oil Sampling Kits for Diesel Engines

10 days ago I wrote about the value of oil analysis and things you can learn regarding what is happening inside your engine. With oil analysis you don't need to guess. Or at least, you have more clues to make a hunch on. 

As we begin SEMA Week Champion Brands has announced that they wae offering WDs and MWDs two free oil analysis kits with every 10 cases of diesel engine oil purchased during the month of November. 

According to the announcement "the Champion promotion is limited to Champion’s Blue Flame, All Fleet-T Diesel, Premium Heavy-Duty, and Ultra-Fleet Diesel Engine Oils. Every 10 cases of quarts, gallons or pails purchased, is eligible for two premium Oil Analysis Kits - Part # BABX10 ($30 value each). The American Laboratory Service (ALS) Tribology Kits includes a pre-paid mailer, the laboratory processing of the used oil and internet access for personalized results."

According to Champion Brands Director of Racing and Performance, Karl Dedolph, Your diesel pick-up, or diesel big rig can each benefit from oil analysis to know when to change the oil or to prevent catastrophic failure down the road."

As noted earlier, oil analysis measures engine wear without having to disassemble the engine. "Utilizing atomic emission spectroscopy, oil analysis reveals the amount of wear occurring within an engine and reports it in parts per million for each element,” added Dedolph. “For example, increasing levels of tin and lead indicate bearing wear and analysis can also reveal depleted additives, as well as contaminants such as water, coolant, fuel dilution and airborne dirt or sand.” 

You can read the full press release here.

Diesel enthusiasts and fleet managers use oil analysis for a short- and long-term analysis of the engine. When should the engine be rebuilt?  Can the engine go another 10,000 miles over-the-road without an oil change?

  1. One key objective of the oil sampling program is to define the limits beyond which remedial actions need to be taken. Oil analysis services are structured to take into account such factors as the present condition, along with the objectives for its desired performance. Each vehicle would be assessed individually. Conditions are unique for each diesel engine so each report is tailored to suit a specific customer.

    Lubrication technology has advanced much in recent years and continues to do so. Using the latest methods and starting with an oil analysis kit, you can benefit from your diesel engine that runs sweeter, lasts longer and uses the minimal amount of oil.

  2. The advancements of today’s atomic emission spectrometer help understand the metals and fluids found in the sample. The oil is injected into a high-temperature environment, where the atoms are vaporized and subsequently emit light. The atoms are collected and focused onto the slits of the spectrometer. The spectrometer contains a diffraction grating. The light intensity is measured using a photodiode and the resultant voltage signal converted to a concentration in ppm based the concentrations of certain elements, particularly wear metals and contaminants, which may be present.
