Did you know? … A change in lubricant viscosity can be an early warning of your machinery future breakdown.

22 / 10 / 2026

Viscosity is one of the key parameters in lubricant condition monitoring. When it changes significantly during operation, it can indicate degradation or contamination of your oil.

  • Lower viscosity may indicate fuel dilution or mechanical shear.
  • Higher viscosity may point to oxidation, soot accumulation, or other contamination.

Regular viscosity monitoring helps maintenance teams identify abnormal trends early and make better-informed maintenance decisions.

With GESERCO products you can measure an accurate viscosity value, on site, at the machine. Our portable solutions provide fast, practical results without the need for complex laboratory equipment.
