Research & Development and Oil Analysis are
the hallmarks of our laboratory. At Summit, using our state
of the art lab, we are able to design and and do performance
testing on the lubricants which meet the needs of our
customers. With the emergence of long life synthetic
lubricants, a good oil analysis program is a must for assuring
there is no contamination or degradation of the lubricant.
