Depending on the situation, studies show that up to 80% machinery failures are due to contaminated oil.

Contaminated oil can cause several problems:

• Increased wear: Contaminants act as abrasives, accelerating wear on parts.
• Reduced lubrication: Dirty oil loses effectiveness, leading to friction and overheating.
• Corrosion: Contaminants can cause rust and weaken components.
• Clogged filters: Debris can block oil passages, starving parts of lubrication.
• Reduced efficiency: Engines work harder, increasing fuel consumption.
• Overheating: Poor lubrication leads to excessive heat and potential failure.
• Higher emissions: Inefficient combustion increases pollutants.
