CONDEMNING LIMITS FOR USED LUBRICATING OIL
When estimating the condition of used lubricating oil, the following properties along with the
corresponding limit values must be noted. If the limits are exceeded, measures must be
taken. Compare also with guidance values for fresh lubricating of the brand used.

CHANGE OF LUBRICATING OIL BRAND
In order to minimize the risk of lubricating oil foaming, deposit formation, blocking of
lubricating oil filters, damage of engine components, etc., the following procedure should be
followed when lubricating oil brand is changed from one to another:
•
If possible, change the lubricating oil brand in connection with an engine (piston)
overhaul
•
Drain old lubricating oil from the lubricating oil system
•
Clean the lubricating oil system in case of an excessive amount of deposits on the
surfaces of engine components, like crankcase, camshaft compartment, etc.
•
Fill the lubricating oil system with fresh lubricating oil
If the procedure described above is not followed, responsibility of possible damage and
malfunctions caused by lubricating oil change should always be agreed between the oil
company and customer.
APPROVED LUBRICATING OIL QUALITIES FOR WÄRTSILÄ 32 ENGINES
Should unapproved lubricating oils be used during the engine warranty period, and there
exist no agreement with the engine manufacturer about testing, the engine guarantee does
not hold.
