The Army Oil Analysis Program (AOAP) is a maintenance diagnostic program charged with monitoring the lubricant condition of various weapon system components. Monitoring lubricant health helps detect impending component failures, allowing Army units and other customers to identify faults and perform maintenance before severe or catastrophic damage to components or systems occurs. The AOAP operates and maintains regional oil analysis laboratories in the Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS) supporting Army, joint and combined customers.

As part of the suite of tests performed on lubricants, these regional Army laboratories use PerkinElmer OilExpress 4 Fourier Transform-Infrared (FT-IR) automated spectrometers to detect and determine significant changes in the chemical makeup of lubricant samples sent to AOAP laboratories for analysis.
