Lubricheck Engine Oil Tester Detects Liquids and Metals

Lubricheck will also detect foreign liquids such as coolant, water and metals

With Lubricheck there is no need to send engine oil samples for analysis. By adding a drop of  engine oil to the smaller than a cell phone, do-it-yourself device you will be provided with an analyzes of the motor-scooters engine oil.

Not only will the knowledge help to extend oil change intervals and save you money, it will also benefit the environment. Changing your Vespas oil based solely on miles driven fails to take other variables into account such as, oil type, the scooters engine condition, your driving habits and the environment the scooter is driven in.

Lubricheck will analyze what is called the “dielectric” or “permittivity” property of a molecular structure and will measure the high impedance (resistivity) of the oil sample for high carbon content, and metals which can indicate a premature wear of bearing, cylinder wall and piston surfaces.

Lubricheck will also detect foreign liquids such as coolant, water which are detrimental to engines, and can be a major source of internal corrosion. Their presence can indicate serious engine problems.

Combining these physics principles allows for an accurate measurement of the quality of engine oil, which is displayed  instantly displayed by one of the 10 LEDs on the Lubricheck.
