Note this is a generic Low Ash set of limits for a typical gas engine. Many OEMs and lube providers have their own specific set of limits based on product,
gas and ash type.

Note these limits are all general guides only based on typical drain intervals and a mid-life piece of machinery. It takes a lot of experience to review the data to form the overall diagnosis. Hence these should not be used to base a maintenance decision without first discussing with the laboratory first.
