STLE Introduces Interactive Lubrication Training Experience at Southwest Research Institute

The Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers (STLE) — the technical society for individuals in the field of tribology and lubrication engineering — introduces its new Interactive Lubrication Training Experience on February 10-11, 2026, at Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, Texas. Registration is now open for the training.

STLE’s Interactive Lubrication Training Experience is a two-day hands-on course designed for those who are new to the industry and those who want to solidify their skills that will combine classroom and laboratory training. The classroom focus will be basics of lubrication, components used to formulate oils and greases, application and lubricant selection. The laboratory portion of the course will focus on lubricant testing, which will supplement the classroom training to assist with growing knowledge by experiencing the analysis first-hand and further understanding how lubricants are selected and analyzed.  “The new STLE Interactive Lubrication Training Experience is a unique opportunity to learn the fundamentals of lubrication through hands-on experience in the lab as well as classroom instruction,” said Rebecca Lintow, CAE, STLE executive director. “We are excited to offer this training at the world-class laboratory environment of Southwest Research Institute.”
