Comprehensive lubricant and grease testing, inspection, certification, and regulatory support – including used oil analysis, grease quality control, and oxidation stability testing.
Intertek offers a comprehensive range of laboratory testing services for fresh and used oils as well as lubricating greases, supporting clients across the industrial, automotive, and manufacturing sectors. Our testing solutions help ensure product quality, failure prevention, and effective R&D support.
A key focus of our analytical services is the investigation of used engine oils in the context of failure analysis. Common issues such as contamination from coolant, diesel fuel, or water can be identified through targeted testing. In addition, Intertek has developed a proprietary oxidation stability test to assess lubricant ageing under thermal stress – simulating real-world operating conditions.
Our accredited laboratories also provide expert testing for a wide range of other lubricants, including:
-
Hydraulic oils
-
Gear oils
-
High-temperature operational oils
For lubricating greases, we determine critical quality parameters such as:
-
Dropping point
-
Worked penetration
-
Oil separation
With global reach and deep technical expertise, Intertek delivers accurate results, rapid turnaround times, and expert guidance – helping you optimise performance, ensure compliance, and reduce operational risk.
