Maintenance budgets are cut on lubricating oil analysis in good years and paid for in bad ones. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on the engineering and maintenance work discipline and revise it on evidence. Practitioner evidence points the same way: the engineering and maintenance work capability improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from lubricating oil analysis, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. The content is relevant to those who own this part of engineering and maintenance work and to those who are held accountable for its results. It concentrates on the parts of the wider engineering and maintenance work agenda that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. What blocks progress on lubricating oil analysis is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to this part of engineering and maintenance work that would make a visible difference.
