To test again, clean out the
sensor well with a clean rag or
tissue. Refill the sensor well and
press the test button again. A new
reading will appear on the display.
In case an oil of another brand is
checked, re-calibration of the
instrument will be needed.

Interpretation of the
reading
Users should use the OilCheck to
monitor the change in the oils
properties and build up a picture
of oil degradation based on their
experience and own operating
criteria. Individual thresholds of
acceptability can be marked on
the unit's scale.
The red and green areas are
designed as an indicator of the
condition of an engine oil. Within
the green band the oil is deemed
acceptable and within the red
area the oil should be changed
and checked again after a short
running period to ensure no
mechanical problems are present.
