Obtain S·O·S samples as close as possible to the recommended sampling interval. In order to receive the full effect of S·O·S analysis, a consistent trend of data must be established. In order to establish a pertinent history of data, perform consistent samplings that are evenly spaced. Supplies for collecting samples can be obtained from your Cat dealer.
