TY - GEN A1 - Woydt, Mathias ED - Mang, T. T1 - Wear T2 - Encyclopedia of lubricants and lubrication N2 - Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and end-users perceive “wear” or “oil drain” differently. Spare parts, Services, and accessories contribute to an important portion to the profit of the OEMs. Maintenance and shutdowns define the operational costs of end-users. Thus, the strategy in order to exploit “wear” depends from the market structure and is up to the reader and/or applicant. The topic “Service Life/Durability/Life Cycle” represents a very ambiguous one and was already thematized in earlier times.
