Savings

Over  71%

This represents for example an engine service life of 35,000 hours, a net cost saving of Aust$144,115 and the reduced use of 46,000 Litres of engine oil.

There is the additional benefit of extended engine life.

  • A strong oil package or the use synthetic oils can further extend the engine oil change only backed by oil analysis.
     

  • The oil analysis regime will confirm the optimum ProtxL element change out time and also the optimum oil change interval. The above figures for the new annual operating costs are conservative so expect savings to increase. If the ProtxL element were to be changed at 500 hours (confirm by analysis), your annual saving will be increased.
     

  • If OEM long life filter elements are used, their change out time may be further extended, resulting in a savings increase.
