methods of detecting glycol in used lubricating oil?
methods of detecting glycol in used lubricating oil?
(OP)
I hope I am in the right forum for this question. Does anyone know of a quick method of determining whether a batch of used lubricating oil has been contaminated with glycol? I've heard of some field tests such as the blotter test or patch test but was curious to know if there are any other faster and more accurate test available.
Thanks for any help/advise.

However, if you got 10 gals of contaminated oil, chuck it. Don't taste it, it's horrible..it makes you turn to grapa..
