Pro Tip: Use FEIBI's VIN-Specific Oil Finder tool for precise recommendations.
2. MAINTENANCE PROTOCOLS
A. Oil Change Procedure
1. Pre-Drain Inspection:
Check for fuel/coolant contamination (milky oil = immediate investigation)
Magnetic plug inspection (report >5mm² metal accumulation)
2. System Flush:
Mandatory when switching brands (use FEIBI Detox Flush)
3. Refill Accuracy:
Measure dispensed oil within ±2% of factory spec
B. Filter Management
Primary Filters: Replace every oil change
Secondary Bypass Filters: Service every 3rd change
Filter Brand Standardization: Use only FEIBI-certified filters
3. MONITORING & DATA ANALYSIS
Key Performance Indicators
|
Metric |
Target |
Action Threshold |
|
Oil Consumption |
<0.5L/10,000km |
>1L → Engine inspection |
|
TBN Retention |
>3.0 at drain |
<2.5 → Shorten interval |
|
Iron (Fe) Wear |
<100ppm |
>150ppm → Bearing check |
Digital Tools:
FEIBI FleetConnect telematics (real-time oil condition monitoring)
QR-code oil tags for service history tracking
4. FUEL & CONTAMINATION CONTROL
Diesel-Specific Solutions
✅ Fuel Dilution Prevention:
Idle reduction policies (max 5 mins warm-up)
Use FEIBI DPF-Shield oil for regen-equipped trucks
✅ Soot Management:
Maintain <3% soot loading (test with FEIBI SootCheck strips)
Universal Practices
Breather Maintenance: Replace crankcase filters every 100,000km
Storage Tanks: Install 10µm particulate filters on all transfer pumps
5. WINTER/SUMMER OPERATIONS
Cold Weather Adaptations (-20°C and Below)
Pre-Heating: Engine block heaters mandatory below -15°C
Oil Switch: Transition to FEIBI Arctic 0W-40
Start-Up Protocol:
1. Glow plugs 2 cycles
2. Idle 30 sec before driving
3. No full load for first 5km
Hot Climate Adjustments (+35°C and Above)
Cooling System: Upgrade to high-capacity radiators
Oil Coolers: Add supplemental units for turbocharged units
Viscosity Adjustment: FEIBI Desert 10W-50 recommended
