Your team ran your annual oil test—and it looks like everything came back fine. So, you’re covered, right? Not necessarily. In this episode of Transformer Truths, host Ryan Tate sits down with Kyle Johannes, who helps lead Field Inspection Services at SDMyers, to explore where most maintenance programs fall short: an annual oil sample might only be part of the story. It’s a candid, practical conversation about the four ways to look at a transformer—what each method sees, what it misses, and how to move from checking boxes to truly understanding the health of the asset you can’t afford to lose. 

Enjoy the episode!
