The 5 steps of the migration plan
Verifiable protocol to migrate from FUCHS Lubricants (FUCHS Petrolub) with traceable documentation and reversibility at any phase.
02
Bench / pilot equipment validation
Controlled tests with LUBESOLUT product on non-critical equipment for 200-500 h: mechanical compatibility, anti-wear, stability, seals. Post-test analysis confirms equivalence.
Week 3-6

Planned phased migration
Progressive equipment-by-equipment changeover during regular planned maintenance stops. No extraordinary production downtime. Parallel FUCHS + LUBESOLUT stock during transition for instant reversal if needed.
Month 2-6
04
Monitoring + continuous analysis
Sample analysis every 500-1500 h post-migration: TAN trends, viscosity, particles. Comparison against FUCHS historical data to detect deviations early.
Month 4-12
05
Closure + documented traceability
Final migration report with results: actual savings achieved, equivalent compliance verified, traceable documentation for ISO 9001 and purchasing audit. FUCHS stock removed from catalogue (or gradual repositioning if remain ratio applies).

Typical risks and how we manage them
Technical honesty: these are the points where a migration can fail and how our protocol anticipates them.
OEM compliance under warranty
If equipment under warranty requires FUCHS, wait for warranty expiry before migrating. In the meantime, plan migration for post-warranty.
Thickener compatibility in greases
Some FUCHS greases use thickeners incompatible with LUBESOLUT. Documented mechanical flush protocol per critical point before migration.
Existing stock — what to do
Gradual repositioning: use FUCHS stock in non-critical applications while validating LUBESOLUT in critical ones. FUCHS stock depletes naturally in 3-9 months.
