Oil Analyzing Kits

SPECBILT IS PROUD TO OFFER

ALS STAVELEY SERVICES – OIL ANALYZING KITS

Realizing extended drain intervals, along with maximizing equipment life are main goals for SpecBilt when we install a FS-2500 system on your diesel engine. Without oil analysis no one can know when the proper time to change oil really is, change the oil too early and you don’t realize the maximum life of lubrication system in a vulnerable state.

We at SpecBilt insist that any program include oil analyzing within it, whether through our ALS Staveley program or if you have oil sampling program already in place. SpecBilt fully recommends ALS Staveley Services and is our in house provider of all oil sampling.
