Equipment-based diagnosis and insights
based on more than 30 years of Shell expertise.
You’ve chosen your oil, your equipment is lubricated and business is running smoothly. But are you set up for long-term success? Will you be alerted in time if an issue is around the corner?
Whether you work on- or off-highway, in the power industry, or general manufacturing, preventative maintenance can help unlock savings and cut unplanned downtime. Oil condition monitoring is an essential part of this. Continually monitoring the condition of oil inside your equipment can provide an early-warning of impending failures empowering you to stop potential failures in their tracks. It can also help determine appropriate oil-drain intervals, and help extend equipment life.
Our oil condition monitoring service gives you access to Shell industry experts that use equipment and lubricant insights to provide preventative maintenance recommendations. Let the operational and engineering experience of our technical experts help you have more go time.
