ARE YOU USING THE RIGHT OIL IN
YOUR VEHICLES AND MACHINERY?
The lubrication demands and
expectations for agricultural machinery
is now greater than it has ever been.
Heavy Duty Engine Oils, Universal Oils and
Transmission Fluids provide reliability
to the modern farmer whatever the age
and size of their vehicles and equipment.
Designed to maximise performance
and fuel economy in tough operating
conditions and minimise component
wear and tear, using the right quality oil
and finding the right type of lubricant
for the many types of equipment
and machinery is absolutely vital.
LUBRICANTS are required for a
variety of work horse applications
from engines of course to hy-
draulic and brake fluids. Modern
sophisticated equipment often
requires high power at low speeds
and also compliance to the latest
emission standards. In order to
meet this requirement, it’s im-
‘ it’s vital to choose
a supplier that
conforms to the
latest standards
’
portant to have efficient, reliable
lubricants.
Not having enough oil or using
the wrong oil causes up to 10% of
all machinery and vehicle break
downs. This means down time
in the field and unnecessary
maintenance costs. When choos-
ing the right oil, it’s vital to choose
a supplier that conforms to the
latest standards.
A trusted oil manufacturer
has approvals from the OEM.
This helps ensure that warranty
conditions are not jeopardised,
and servicing costs are kept to a
minimum.
Have you got the right quality
and type of oil for the right appli-
cation?
