Read how a fleet customer uses on-site oil analysis
Two failing engines detected early, $40,000 savings
“Bringing oil analysis in house made it possible to begin analyzing all of our bus engines on a regular basis,” said Dennis Griffey, maintenance supervisor with Kitsap Transit. “Within the first few months, the analyzer identified two engines that were close to failure. We saved about $40,000 by eliminating the need for an out-of-frame rebuild in one case and by getting the rebuild done by the dealer as part of the warranty in the other.”
