Did you know that TAN (Total Acid Number) and TBN (Total Base Number) are critical indicators of lubricant health? Let’s break it down:
- TAN: Measures the buildup of acidic byproducts in the lubricant, indicating oil degradation.
- TBN: Measures the lubricant’s ability to neutralize these acids, protecting engine components.
Regular monitoring of TAN and TBN is essential for:
- Optimal Oil Change Intervals: Data-driven decisions prevent premature or overdue oil changes.
- Prevention of Engine Wear: Ensuring proper acid neutralization is key.
- Maximizing Lubricant Lifespan: Get the most out of your investment.
