Many new oils contain up to 32 times more contamination than
OEMs recommend. Added maintenance-induced contamination
from a dirty work environment compounds the problem. As more
contaminants get into the fluid, it creates a snowball effect,
accelerating wear and tear.

Contamination can reduce component life 2x to 4x
and cost millions of dollars a year.
