OPERATING INSTRUCTION
1. Turn the instrument on.
2. Select the oil mode by pressing the Up and Down button,
and then press the Power/Next button as shown in Fig.1.

Important˖
•Do not drop oil on the sensor before turning on the
unit. Make sure that the sensor and the inner surface
of the bowl are clean and dry.
•Do not test hot oil. For best results, the temperature of
the oil sample to be tested should be close to the
temperature of the instrument, and both should be
between 10ć-27 ć
•Place the instrument on a flat surface when testing.
•Put 3-5 drops of oil on the sensor until the oil surface
reaches the required height which is indicated in Fig.3

EXPLANATION FOR TEST RESULTS
HOW DOES THE INSTRUMENT WORK?
The tester primarily reacts to the increase in acidity of oil.
As the oil degrades, it becomes more acidic and will begin
to pit mental engine parts. The result Lj90% usually means
that the level of acid in the oil has reached a maximum
acceptable level, and the oil should be changed. However,
other contaminants (such as dirt, soot, water, antifreeze
and metal particles) also influence the reading. Water or
antifreeze in the oil may indicate a bad seal or head gasket.
Metal particles result from unusual water of bearings,
pistons, rings, etc. Excessive carbon or soot may be
caused by poor compression and excessive blow-by. Fuel
leaking can dilute the oil and may cause an artificially good

oil quality reading. If test results show that oil quality does
not drop as expected over time or seems to improve, check
engine for fuel leaks. (Try a drop of oil on paper. Look for a
gray ring.) If a significantly worse oil rating than expected is
displayed, we recommend having the engine checked, or
send a sample to an oil laboratory for analysis.
COMMON CAUSES OF INACCURATE READING
1. The sensor and oil bowl are not clean.
2. The oil surface do not reach the required height as
indicated in Fig.3
3. The additives of the engine oil may result in inconsistent
testing results of one oil sample for each time testing, the
accuracy should be ± 5%.
4. The sensor is sensitive to working temperature and relative
humidity. Dampness or severe heat or cold environment
may affect testing result.
5. If engine oil condition is inconsistent with testing result,
calibration is required.
CALIBRATION
Calibration has been done under GAS1 mode after they are
out of factory. For engine oil dealer or manufacturer, we advise
calibrating the instrument by themselves for each certain kind
of engine oil due to different additives, which may affect testing
result significantly. Also,we advise calibrting the instrument
when the working temperature and relative humidity changed
dramatically or the engine oil condition is inconsistent with
testing result.
How to Calibrate?
1. When the instrument is OFF, press and hold the Back
button, and then press the Power button. The unit is ON.
2. Select the oil mode you need to set and then press the
Power or Next button. The unit is now under calibration
procedure.
3. Drop Calibration oil to the testing bowl, which must be old
oil close or recommend to change.
4. Press the Power button to execute calibrating until the
display shown done as in Fig.4 below. Wipe the oil bowl
with clean and dry paper towel.
5. As indicated on the display, drop new oil to be tested to the
testing bowl. Press the Power button to execute calibrating
until the display shown result stored as shown in Fig.5
below.
6. Press the Back button to the main menu and then press
the Power button to turn the unit OFF. Calibration is
complete.
7. Wipe the oil bowl with clean and dry paper towel.
Important:
•The old and new oil for calibration must be the same
certain kind of engine oil.
•The old oil for calibration must reach a maximum
acceptable level (oil close or recommend to change).
