Frequently Asked Questions
What is MOTORcheckUP?
MOTORcheckUP is a system based on chemical analysis and evaluation. With this system you can check ingredients of motor oil, brake fluid, power steering oil (hydraulic oil) as well as gear oil. This enables you to draw conclusions about irregularities, faults, damage to the aggregate or the state of the oil. By the results you can see what possible defects are present and what measures should be taken.
How does MOTORcheckUP work?
It is best compared with a visit to a doctor. He takes one drop of the patient’s blood and so looks into the body. MOTORcheckUP works the same way. Only one drop of oil or fluid is enough to look into motor, brakes, steering and gears.
How complicated is this?
The use as well as the evaluation is extremely simple. The respective drop of oil is extracted from the motor or container and is applied to the test paper, then the result is compared with the easily read charts – done.
Are the test results reliable?
The mode of operation and effectiveness of MOTORcheckUP were tested under the most stringent conditions by automotive. (Test number: B 09 04 6995 001)
In their report attest to the functionality and effect of MOTORcheckUP. The production is being monitored by on a regular basis. The manufacture and improvement of the special paper are subject to the strictest demands of the QM-system according to DIN EN ISO 9001:2008.
Do experts use these tests?
Many specialists and institutions work with this system. GTÜ , BVSK, VKS, to mention just a few. The tests are used for reports (also as evidence in court), valuations and checks for classic cars.
How does FLUIDcheckUP work?
FLUIDcheckUP works the same way as MOTORcheckUP: only one drop of fluid placed on the test paper gives you a picture which can be compared with the particular charts.
How fast does it works?
With FLUIDcheckUP of MOTORcheckUP you test the degree of effectiveness of the oils and establish their ability to function. Depending on the age and wear of the oils the completed result becomes visible after only 15 minutes. In this way FLUIDcheckUP indicates the actual state of the oils. This test is not only for your safety but also for preventive maintenance, reliability of the aggregates, avoidance of expensive repairs and extension of life span.
What are the advantages?
The look into the motor gives the expert and layperson information about the state of health of the motor. This way you can easily recognise what state your motor is in. Is combustion all right, maybe the injector is damaged, or even the turbocharger? Is there water or fuel in the oil or is the oil itself still all right. All this contributes to a longer life for the motor.
What are the advantages?
All oils contain important additives which are meant to prevent damage. They protect the oil from overheating, wear and changes. When these additives are used up oil sludge forms. Because of this life span and performance are reduced, while at the same time operating costs rise and threat to functioning of working areas grows. With FLUIDcheckUP of MOTORcheckUP you test the degree of effectiveness of the oils and establish their ability to function.
What can MOTORcheckUP find out?
With the motor, the oil makes it possible to see if the combustion is still functioning well or if the turbocharger is defective. Abrasion and sediments can also be detected. Wear of the motor oil and the resulting defects, water and fuel in the oil are also analysed.
