Machinery Lubrication, Level I (ML I) provides the foundational skillset for applying best lubrication practices and product knowledge. Through ML I, students can move away from the traditional methods of vague, non-specific lubrication procedures and implement an excellent lubrication program in any industrial workplace.

ML I students gain much more than pointers on lubricating a machine – they learn proven industry methods for selecting, storing, filtering and testing lubricants to boost reliability and generate lasting results in machine efficiency/maintenance. They also gain better understanding of oil analysis, so they can align their efforts with those of maintenance professionals or oil analysis experts.
