Fleet Oil Change

Not only are oil changes still important, they are perhaps more important than ever. Today’s engines are smaller but more efficient and powerful. Engines now work harder to deliver increased fuel economy, reduced emissions, and high performance. Greater engine efficiency also means more pressure on the engine itself (i.e. more metal-to-metal contact and friction that can stress your oil and rob performance from your engine).

Over time your oil will become contaminated with dust, dirt, and debris from the engine. The most common issue is that the parts in your vehicle’s engine will become too hot. This will typically cause your engine to run less efficiently and decrease your vehicle’s fuel economy, costing you money. Over the long-term this will also cause your engine components to warp and wear out, decreasing the useful life of your fleet and costing you more money to replace vehicles sooner than you should have to or require costly repairs.

Synthetic oil products reduce the wear on your engine in all operating conditions and help extend the life of your vehicle. Synthetics will also help decrease your vehicle’s downtime and increase productivity for your operators. Additionally, synthetic lubricants have shown fuel economy improvements that result in a 1 to 4 percent savings on fuel costs.
