If this piece of equipment is expensive, you should not be asking these questions here.

I would advise that you enlist a consultant (or an expert) from your local area.

Dissipation Factor increases with aged oil (oxidation products) and also metals in the oil. Fuller's earth reclaiming the oil will improve the Dissipation Factor (decrease it)
