Volvo Oil Analysis

With regular use of Volvo oil analysis you get a comprehensive diagnosis of the machine’s condition. The analysis gives a lot of information, e.g., water/coolant content, viscosity, dirt and quantity of metal particles.
Thanks to the early warnings provided by the oil analysis you can plan component changes in good time before problems occur, thus avoiding expensive damage and downtime.

With Volvo oil analysis you get:

  • Reduced operating costs
  • An excellent planning tool for preventive maintenance
  • Less downtime

Using the oil analysis program can also shorten repair times, since sometimes it can pinpoint the cause of the malfunction. This means much faster troubleshooting and diagnosis.

Handling lubricants correctly will protect your machine, your health and the environment. Here are a few important points:

  • Change oil and filter in time

    To avoid unnecessary wear and burnt piston rings you should respect the service intervals. It is economical to change the oil filter at the same time as you change oil. A new oil’s characteristics deteriorate quickly when an old filter is used. Old filters may get clogged causing engine damage.

  • Maintain cleanliness

    It is important to maintain cleanliness when filling oil, especially around the filler point. Carelessness is the major source of impurities that cause wear, erosion, corrosion and malfunctions.

  • Check the oil level

    An oil level that is too low is a frequent cause of component failures. It is important to check the oil level in the engine, transmission and hydraulic system at regular intervals.

  • Disposal of waste oil

    Waste oils should be handled as environmentally hazardous waste. Disposal is subject to national and local laws.

  • Direct contact with oil and grease

    Avoid direct skin contact with oil and grease.

  • Volvo oil analysis

    Volvo oil analysis gives you better control of your machine. Monitoring the oil’s status can reduce downtime and lower your operating costs.

FILTERS

VOLVO FILTERS - YOUR BEST CHOICE

Genuine Filters from Volvo make sure that your Volvo construction equipment stay in peak condition. They are specifically designed to work perfectly with your Volvo machine. Choose Filters from Volvo if you want top productivity, profitability and safety.

Filters are important parts of your construction equipment. They have to clean fluids and air from dirt and impurities. Effective filters ensure optimal function and operating safety.

Volvo filters work in the most demanding conditions. They always have:

  • High cleaning efficiency that is matched to engine, transmission and hydraulic system.
  • High dirt capacity which gives long change intervals, without impaired function.
  • Filter elements of the highest quality.
  • Stable corrosion-protected casing.

Please contact your local dealer for more information about Filters and how to maximize the performance of your construction equipment.

Filters from Volvo are the best choice for your construction equipment. You can expect high-quality parts, for your safety and economy. Regular service and maintenance at given intervals, together with Genuine Volvo Parts, ensure the reliability and profitability of your machine.

We have a complete range of filters to match your needs:

High quality and low operating costs

The media used in Volvo filters is manufactured from high-quality cellulose fibers. We mix fine and coarse fibers until the filter media has the exact level of purification and capacity which every type of filter needs. The filter media is impregnated with resin to prevent it from being dissolved by moisture, chemicals and oil. As well as providing a high level of purification from the outset, Volvo filters also have a very high capacity. This means few replacements and low operating costs.

Please contact your Great West dealer for more information about Filters and how to maximize the performance of your construction equipment.
