Types of analysis
OELCHECK recommendation:
The test range is clearly defined by the color of the cap, the oil type and the oil’s origins. Once you place your order, we promptly deliver the analysis kit by courier service. Each packaging unit contains a 100ml, temperature-resistant, wide-necked PE-sample bottle and a preaddressed, leak-proof envelope.
The Sample Information Form asks (often industry-specific) questions regarding the oil sample.
Please choose from the list below and
