Why Choose S.O.S Fluids Analysis?
Because All Oil Analysis is Not the Same.
S.O.S Program Tests
 |
In selecting the lab instruments and tests for the S.O.S program, Caterpillar engineers begin by asking what information from used oil samples would best identify component condition. Each S.O.S test is designed to reveal specific information about the condition of Caterpillar products. The core tests for the S.O.S program consist of the following:
- Wear Metal Analysis (copper, iron, chromium, lead, tin, aluminum, molybdenum, silicon, and sodium)
- Physical Tests (Fuel Dilution Detection, Water Detection, Glycol Detection)
- Oil Condition (FT-IR: Soot, Sulfur Compounds, Oxidation, Nitration)
- Particle Counts
Know More. Do More.

Maintaining your equipment with good cost control is one of your top priorities. Trakindo is committed to assisting you in minimizing your equipment operating costs. The place to start is with S.O.S Services - Oil Analysis and Coolant Analysis. They are the fastest, most accurate, most reliable ways to see what's going on inside your equipment. Proper fluid maintenance is imperative to keep machines and engines operating at peak performance.
An investment in lower costs
S.O.S Services is one of the most useful and important maintenance support programs available. Here's why:
-
Avoid
SOS Services enables you to keep minor repairs from becoming major ones, and helps you to avoid complete failures. Often an adjustment or replacement of a single part, based on S.O.S Services findings, can prevent a small problem from growing into a major repair.
-
Track
S.O.S Services enables you to predict wear-related problems, allowing greater flexibility in repair scheduling and downtime control. Through S.O.S Services you are equipped with a tool that tracks the wear of components and parts, tracks oil performance, and tracks oil condition. S.O.S Services tracks what's going on inside the equipment!
-
Maintain
S.O.S Services shortens repair time. Using the S.O.S Services Report as a guide, troubleshooting time is often reduced, enabling a service technician to go directly to the core of the problem. You, your S.O.S Analyst, and your Parts & Service Representative are working as a team to manage your equipment.
-
Manage
S.O.S Services manages component life and equipment availability, thus reducing owning and operating costs. In other words, downtime is decreased and productivity and profitability are increased!
For maximum protection, you need S.O.S Oil Analysis for all major oil-lubricated systems (engine, transmission, hydraulic system, and final drives) and S.O.S Coolant Analysis for your coolant systems.
