Prevent Costly Breakdowns with Fleet Core’s Engine Oil Testing & Lubrication Analysis Services

Every piece of equipment tells a story. But without the right tools, you might not hear it until it’s too late. At Fleet Core, our Engine Oil Testing and Lubrication Analysis Services provide a powerful diagnostic tool to help you uncover issues before they become costly breakdowns. Whether you operate a fleet, manage heavy equipment, or rely on machinery to power your business—this proactive service ensures peak performance, extended lifespan, and minimized downtime.

Why Oil Testing Matters

Oil is more than a lubricant—it’s a window into your engine’s internal condition. By analyzing used oil samples, Fleet Core can detect early signs of:

  • Component wear
  • Contamination
  • Lubricant degradation
  • Potential system failures

That means smarter maintenance planning, longer equipment life, fewer surprise breakdowns, and a healthier bottom line.

Engine oil testing to extend the life of your commercial equipment

What We Offer: Complete Engine Oil & Lubrication Testing Services

Oil Sampling and Analysis

We collect samples directly from your machinery—during or right after operation—for laboratory analysis. This testing provides insight into:

  • Metal wear (iron, copper, aluminum, chromium)
  • Contaminants (dirt, coolant, water, fuel)
  • Oil condition (oxidation, nitration, viscosity)
  • Cleanliness levels
  • Fuel dilution

Performance Reporting and Strategic Insights

We benchmark your data against baseline standards and track trends over time to:

  • Detect abnormal wear or contamination
  • Predict future breakdowns
  • Extend equipment life
  • Optimize maintenance scheduling

Recommendations & Preventive Maintenance Strategies

Every report comes with clear, actionable recommendations customized to your needs, such as:

  • Adjusted oil change intervals
  • Improved lubricant selection
  • Targeted component checks
  • Cost-saving maintenance upgrades

What Engine Oil Testing Detects—And Why It’s Critical

Wear Metals

Signs of mechanical wear and friction:

  • Iron – gears, crankshafts, liners
  • Copper – bushings, bearings
  • Aluminum – pistons
  • Chromium – shafts, rings

Contaminants

Alerts to leaks or system breaches:

  • Dirt/silica – air filter failures
  • Coolant/glycol – head gasket issues
  • Fuel – injector or combustion leaks
  • Water – condensation or external leaks

Oil Degradation

Tells you whether your oil is still doing its job:

  • Oxidation – aging from heat
  • Nitration – contamination from combustion gases
  • Viscosity changes – caused by contamination or oil shear
