25 How to Find Additive Depletion Data on an Oil Analysis Report Elemental Markers for Common Additives Additives: Zinc Phosphorous Calcium Magnesium Barium Boron Sulfur Molybdenum Silicon Notes Antioxidants: ZDDP Hindered Phenol Organic Aromatic Amine Organic Antiwear Agents: ZDDP Tricresylphosphate (TCP) EP s Sulfur Phosphorus MoS 2 Borate Rust Inhibitors Detergents Dispersants Organic Foam Inhibitors VI Improvers Organic Emission Spectroscopy (Elemental Analysis) Care must be taken when using elemental analysis to determine additive depletion. Oftentimes, depletion of additive molecules does not result in any significant change in the atomic fingerprint since depletion by-products remain suspended or dissolved in the oil. Note: organic additives don t have elemental markers Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) FTIR can be used to monitor additive depletion. However, it is often a lagging parameter to other indicators such as AN, RPVOT and the RULER TM due to its imprecision and sensitivity to new oil reference mismatches FTIR WITH ADDITIVE DEPLETION ANALYSIS (AD) DATE (nla) REFERENCES % CORREL SOOT OXIDATION SULFATE PRODUCT AW/EP ANTI-OXID WATER POS NEG POS NEG NEG NEG NEG POS NEG GLYCOL NEG NEG NEG NEG NEG NEG NEG NEG NEG 24 REF: Insight Services Additives

By the time the BN falls to 3 to 3.5 the AN will have risen by 1 to 1.5 (indicating increasing corrosion risk) 137 REF: JCF
