| Mistake | Real-World Impact | Case Study | Z PREMIUM Solution |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Using the Wrong Lubricant Grade | Increases wear, friction, and component failure. Damages seals and leads to overheating. | 🏭 A forging unit in Faridabad used engine oil in hydraulic machines – pump failure occurred in 3 months. | ✅ Use ISO VG Hydraulic Oil as per machine manual. Z PREMIUM’s VG 32/46/68/100 options suit various operations. |
| 2. Over-lubricating Bearings & Fittings | Causes heat buildup, attracts dust, and increases downtime due to cleaning or part damage. | 🧵 Textile mill in Ludhiana experienced frequent loom shutdowns due to grease choking. | ✅ Apply AP3 or EP2 grease in correct dosages using a manual or auto-lubrication system. |
| 3. Ignoring Oil Drain Intervals or Oil Quality | Leads to sludge formation, filter clogging, and low efficiency. | 🚜 Tractor fleet owner in UP had poor mileage due to unchanged engine oil for 6+ months. | ✅ Follow drain schedules. Use CI-4 15W-40 Long Drain Engine Oil with monitoring via Z PREMIUM oil analysis services. |
| 4. Mixing Incompatible Lubricants | Causes chemical breakdown, corrosion, and seal swelling. | 🏢 Small toolroom in Pune mixed synthetic gear oil with mineral oil – gear wear increased rapidly. | ✅ Stick to single oil type. Z PREMIUM offers fully compatible oils for gear, hydraulic, and compressor systems. |
| 5. Poor Storage & Contamination Control | Dust, water, and metal shavings enter lubricant → wear parts & ruin performance. | 🛠️ Plastic molding unit in Bhiwadi stored oil drums open → fungus formed in hydraulic system. | ✅ Store lubricants in closed containers. Use Z PREMIUM sealed buckets/drums with TDS/MSDS support. |
🧰 BONUS TIPS:
- Use visual indicators and oil sight glasses to monitor levels and color.
- Keep separate tools (funnels, pumps) for each lubricant type.
- Train your maintenance staff on basic lubrication hygiene.
