Get the most out of your heavy-duty equipment, on-highway trucks, and diesel engines with Fluid Analysis.
Don't skip this simple step of your maintenance program. It's one of the easiest ways to avoid engine failure and can provide early detection of potential problems. It can:
- Give warning of abnormal engine wear
- Keep small repairs small
- Help determine more accurate maintenance intervals
- Increase equipment resale value
- Work on any make, any model
Fluid analysis helps detect problems long before they materialize, so corrections can be made and failure is avoided. Fluid can reveal an astonishing amount of information about the inner workings of your engine. As it flows through the component, it picks up and carries wear and contaminated particles. A lab can analyze a fluid sample to determine if the wear is normal or abnormal.
Having a history of fluid analysis results will give you a more accurate picture if an engine problem does start to develop. The first set of results will set a reference point. The next sets of results will start to establish trends. By tracking these trends over the life of a particular machine, it’s easier to identify any significant changes from analysis to analysis. Just remember to take fluid samples at the same time/mileage intervals each time, so the following sets of results can be more accurately compared.
It’s simple to collect samples that you can send to a lab for analysis. Fleetguard even offers kits for fluid collection and samples. Check them out below.
