It is often said that industry rides on a film of oil. Many of us in the lubrication field know that this film of oil is frequently taken for granted. In fact, it needs constant nurturing. Like a plant that needs the right amount of water and sunlight (not too much, not too little), machines are fussy in their requirements as well.

It’s time we started talking about “precision lubrication,” giving it the same degree of urgency and importance as say, precision alignment. Any oil, of any quality, in any amount, introduced any way, at any time, no longer flies. The Rights of Lubrication need to be the new mantra (the right oil, in the right amount, at the right time, done the right way, and with the right attitude). If you do all “the Rights” then your machine will have a long and happy life … right? Nothing better characterizes the lubrication field. Sounds simple doesn’t it?
