Oil analysis, coolant analysis and fluids testing for buses and commercial and commuter trains is critical to their safe and reliable operation, and to keep them running on time around the clock.
Monitoring the lubricants, coolants and fuels these systems use with oil analysis, coolant analysis and fuel analysis ensures peak performance and extends equipment life and reliability.
Routine oil analysis monitors the condition of both the lubricant (contamination) and individual machine components (wear). Coolant analysis monitors changes in coolant properties, due to chemical reactions occurring within the cooling system, before they escalate to failure. It also identifies coolant mixing and deficiencies in cooling system maintenance practices.
esting fuel deliveries can reduce operational expenses and ensure satisfactory ignition and combustion, compatibility with fuel injection systems and convenient handling at all levels without degradation or contamination.

Triple R was developed for the US Armed Forces in the 1960’s.
It was created to successfully and safely extend oil drain intervals in military equipment, from tanks to helicopters.
By the end of the 1980s over 500,000 commercial buses, trucks and other equipment had TRIPLE Rfilters retrofitted to save on oil costs and reduce engine wear.
Installation of TRIPLE R products is simple and ongoing maintenance is just a case of changing an element instead of performing an oil drain. In some cases oil will never have to be drained and replaced, but for most applications we recommend an oil drain after 4 element changes.
The fewer trips you have to make to the shop, the longer your vehicle can stay on the road. And less oil purchased also means less oil used and more money saved. This impact on productivity and expenditure is a big plus for the environment as well as the bottom line profit of any operator!
