Demand for engine oil and debris analysis from laboratories in Europe and the U.S. appears to be growing, as manufacturers and operators recognize the potential for such checks to diagnose a problem before it becomes an expensive maintenance issue.

Jet-Care, based in Cedar Knolls, N.J., now provides oil and debris analysis for the U.S. Coast Guard’s new Turbomeca Arriel 2C2CG engines powering its re-engined HH-65C Dolphins. The contract involves analyzing more than 200 engines.
