Road transport is probably the industry that can benefit most from used oil analysis benefits regarding operating cost savings. Vehicles are very stressed through discontinuous and daily work, the quality of which is vastly variable and connected to several factors, including the driver’s skill set.
Routine analysis of representative oil samples, taken near the scheduled oil change, can help make the most of the lubricant’s life, switching maintenance from scheduled to “on condition.” This reduces maintenance operations and effectively monitors mechanical parts condition, with the ability to detect incipient damages early, take appropriate corrective actions, and ultimately minimize the risk of unscheduled stops.
For this particular application, Mecoil also designed specific, cost-effective analysis solutions for transmissions and differentials, items that are mistakenly put into the background compared to the engine but which contribute decisively to the proper functioning of the entire system.
