Q: How can a fleet benefit from using oil analysis?
A: The oil management cost of a typical Class 1-4 vehicle runs from $150 to $300 per year depending upon the age of the vehicle, type of oil, labor rates, mileage, use and service frequency. For Class 5-8 vehicles, the cost is much more. And, these costs are going up. So is there anything that can be done to reduce oil management costs without putting your fleet at risk?
At Hubb Oil Filters, we have found that oil analysis can be an effective way to reduce oil management cost and risk. As part of the development of our reusable oil filter, we have been conducting oil analyses for fleets with thousands of vehicles. The oil analysis has involved new and old vehicles with different purposes, operating conditions, oils and oil filters. And from this research, it’s clear that oil analysis can be a cost effective tool for reducing oil management cost and extending oil drain intervals. You don’t have to be an expert to use it effectively.
