COST BENEFIT SUMMARY

1 EXISTING SERVICE $23,424-00
2 INSTALLATION $1,214-00
3 NEW SERVICE $9,536-00
4 COST SAVINGS OF CONSUMABLES $13,888-00
5 ANNUAL SAVINGS

OVER 65.8%

          

  • There is the additional benefit of reduced repair costs and extended engine life as the wear of lubricated machinery is almost totally determined by the contamination of the lubricant
     
  • The oil analysis regime will confirm the optimum ProtxL element change out time and also the optimum oil change interval.
     
  • If OEM long life filter elements are used, their change out time may be further extended, resulting in a savings increase.
     
  • ProtxL does not void warranty.
     
  • When the ProtxL element is changed, the canister is drained of about 9 Ltrs and reused to top up the 18 Ltr canister.

This cost benefit is based on the Transfield operated WA Government owned Power Station where based on excellent oil analysis results the oil change has been extended to 4,000 Hrs with a 2,000 Hour ProtxL filter element change. The independent analysis of the spin on oil filter at 2,250Hrs showed it was still in the normal operating range. All results can be supplies and Michael Davis the Power station manager can be contacted on 0402792185 for questions arising. Also John Lewis of Statewide oil distributors-Mobil can be contacted on 0408 126 849 for questions arising.
