KOWA (Komatsu Oil Wear Analysis)
Oil analysis
A small investment for big savings
The Komatsu Oil & Wear Analysis (KOWA) program determines how your machine is performing. Much
like a blood sample tells you how your body is functioning, KOWA is a health check of your equipment.
Why analyze oil?
Analyzing oil is the best way to look inside a machine's components.
It helps you :
1. avoid engine failures
2. detect other potential problems
3. prevent downtime and unplanned repairs
KOWA KOWA does much more than that. It detects fuel dilution and coolant leaks, identifies contaminants and measures wear metals. It can help indicate a clogged filter, a leaky seal or a bad gasket. It puts you in the best position to make informed repair and maintenance decisions.
Data analysis & record keeping
Test results are delivered by e-mail or on our secure and multi-language website
www.komatsu-kowa.com
Historical test data is stored on the website and over time it can be used to identify trends and
document good maintenance practices, which preserve your machine's resale value.
Savings
No other fleet management activity costs as little and can save as much as KOWA, and no piece of
equipment is too small to benefit. KOWA is designed to keep your machines running at affordable costs.
It is the best defense for proactively maintaining your Komatsu equipment.
