Value Recognition ReportA Trucking Company with 24 Trucks

Account History: The US based company runs aggregate haul trucks, averaging 10,000 miles per oilchange. In order to reduce operating expenses, an initiative to extend engine oil drain intervals wasestablished. The company examined their Shell Rotella Oil, an engine oil from DA lubricantsand Certified Labs engine oil. Samples were periodically pulled and sent to Staveley Services foranalysis.

Reduced Lubricant Consumption – Increased Change Intervals

Staveley Service oil analysis lab was used to determinethe appropriate change intervals. SpectrographicAnalysis, physical properties and contamination testswere performed on the oil samples. The Certified LabsSTRATA XTREME 15W40 engine oil providesexceptional wear protection, kept within the appropriateviscosity range and was able to continue to neutralizeacid well into the 38,000 mile range. It was safelydetermined that STRATA XTREME could safely be usedto extend drain intervals twice as long as the DALubricant oil and four times longer than the Shell Rotellaoil bought from a distributor.
