How to avoid costly breakdowns- lubrication made easy
The lubrication demands and expectations for agricultural, plant and haulage machinery is now greater than it has ever been. Luckily quality Heavy Duty Engine Oils, Universal Oils, Gear, Hydraulic and Transmission Fluids provide reliability to the modern farmer or commercial vehicle owner, whatever the age and size of their machinery and equipment.
BUT…..Did you know that not having enough oil or using the wrong oil causes up to 10% of all machinery and vehicle break downs? This means down time in the field and unnecessary maintenance costs…
Designed to maximise performance and fuel economy in tough operating conditions and minimise component wear and tear, using the right quality oil and finding the right type of lubricant for the many types of equipment and machinery is absolutely vital….
Modern sophisticated equipment often requires high power at low speeds and also compliance to the latest emission standards. In order to meet this requirement it’s important to have efficient, reliable lubricants.
When choosing the right oil for your vehicle or machinery it is vital that you consider the following:
- Does your oil manufacturer have approvals from the OEM? This helps ensure that warranty conditions are not jeopardised and servicing costs are kept to a minimum.
- Have you got the right quality and type of oil for the right application?
- Does your oil manufacturer comply with the standards of the European & UK Lubricant Industry? Looking for endorsements such as membership of the UKLA (United Kingdom Lubricant Association), and signatories to the ATIEL European Letter of Conformance plus membership of the VLS (Verification of Lubrication Specification) provide a credible and trusted independent means to verify lubricant companies. By being a part of these initiatives brings transparency to the lubricant market place and protect and educate the end user.
