Diesel Oil Reports

Whether you depend on your engine for your livelihood or just to get away from it all, oil analysis can identify problems that could shorten your diesel’s life.

Maybe your engine is struggling with a leaky injector or bad pump. Maybe antifreeze — the killer extraordinaire — is getting into the oil from the oil cooler. Maybe soot is causing the oil to thicken up. Let oil analysis take some of the guesswork out of the equation. Whether you’re working or relaxing, preventive maintenance can help you avoid costly repairs and keep your rig on the road.
