Did you know? … Rising TAN levels are an early warning sign that your oil is no longer fit for service.
19 / 02 / 2026
Over time, heat, oxidation, and contaminants gradually reduce a lubricant’s properties. One of the best indicators of this degradation is the Total Acid Number (TAN).
Why is it important to monitor TAN?
When oil acid number increases, it often indicates:
- Lubricant oxidation
- Loss of essential additives
- Increased risk of internal corrosion, sludge and varnish formation
- Decreased equipment performance
Without monitoring, this evolution can go unnoticed… until failure. A simple, rapid test can make all the difference.
With GESERCO solutions, TAN can be measured directly on-site in just a few minutes, allowing you to:
- Decide whether the lubricant can remain in service
- Detect premature degradation
- Optimize oil change intervals
- Prevent costly damage
