New Oil References
Posted
Updated
ByFluid Life
This option is used for if you are submitting your OWN sample of new oil to be used as a reference. If you are not, then do not add oils to this list as it will create a blank reference line for comparing samples to until a sample is submitted. Please refer back to “Oil Short List” if you do not want to use your own references.
Adding New Oil References

- First navigate to the “Manage Oils” section by first clicking “Account” (A), and “Manage Oils” (B)

- Click “New Oil References” (A) and select the customer specific user list. In this example we will use ABC Company Site 2 2020 (B)

- Click on “Add Oil”

- Search for the manufacturer- SHELL (A) and through the “Available Oils for Manufacturer” (B) select SHELL, AEROSHELL GREASE 5
- Once you have found the desired oil, click “Save”
