Oil Condition Monitoring for Commercial Transport
Extend service intervals, reduce unplanned downtime, and improve asset health across your transport fleet with real-time oil condition monitoring.
Heavy vehicles run long hours under constant load and variable conditions. Engine stress, thermal cycling, and contamination accelerate oil breakdown—yet faults often go undetected between services.
Tan Delta’s real-time oil condition monitoring provides continuous visibility into engine and drive-train oil health. This enables predictive maintenance, reduces unnecessary oil changes, and prevents costly roadside failures that disrupt logistics and delivery schedules.
Detect faults early and avoid breakdowns that delay delivery schedules.
Service vehicles based on oil condition, not just time or distance.
Lower oil and filter use, reduce labour, and avoid emergency repairs.
Monitor engines and drive-trains across fleet vehicles in real time.
Reduce waste oil volumes and unnecessary part consumption.
Act on live data trends instead of relying on fixed schedules or visual inspections.
Tan Delta systems are in use on freight trucks, long-haul vehicles, mining support fleets, and municipal buses. Transport managers use live oil data to reduce unplanned maintenance, improve cost control, and protect critical assets from early wear.
Tan Delta’s system supports logistics operators, councils, and contractors with real-time oil condition data. It works across diesel and hybrid fleets, enabling smarter servicing decisions that protect uptime and reduce lifecycle cost per vehicle.
Real-time oil condition analysis for fixed installations in standard and hazardous environments.
Pre-configured kits with sensors, displays, and cabling — engineered for quick install into engines, gearboxes, hydraulics, and rotating equipment.
Displays, gateways, and manifolds for integration, readout, and remote monitoring in any environment.
How does oil condition monitoring help in transport fleets?
It provides real-time visibility into oil degradation, wear, and contamination, helping operators reduce breakdowns and optimise service timing.
What transport vehicles is it compatible with?
The system is compatible with trucks, buses, vans, off-highway vehicles, and service vehicles using lubricating or hydraulic oils.
Can it integrate with fleet management systems?
Yes. Oil condition data can be integrated with vehicle telematics, control systems, or viewed via cloud dashboards.
How is the data accessed?
Data is available through on-site controllers or remotely via cloud dashboards, SCADA systems, or integrated control panels.
What kind of faults can it detect?
The system can detect thermal degradation, soot and fuel dilution, water ingress, and early signs of mechanical wear—well before failure occurs.
What is the TDN Value?
TDN (Tan Delta Number) is a single real-time value that represents overall oil condition. It is calculated from the sensor’s raw data and allows users to track oil health and rate of change over time. TDN enables data-driven decisions on when to service or replace oil.
How do I view the oil condition data in the field?
Data can be displayed in-cab, sent to mobile devices, or viewed remotely via Tan Delta’s online platform, depending on your integration setup.
