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.

Oil Condition Monitoring for Commercial Transport Fleets

Extend service intervals, reduce unplanned downtime, and improve asset health across your transport fleet with real-time oil condition monitoring.

Why Oil Monitoring is Essential in Transport Fleet Management

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.

Continuous Monitoring for Heavy and Light Vehicles

  • Live Oil Monitoring

    Continuously tracks oil degradation, contamination, and wear.

  • Fits Any Equipment

    Use on trucks, buses, vans, off-highway vehicles, and service fleets.

  • Simple Installation

    Mounts using existing oil ports or sampling points—minimal disruption to operations.

  • TDN Output

    One numerical value summarises oil condition and trend. No lab required.

  • Easy Integration

    Connect to in-dash systems, telematics, or remote dashboards.

  • Maintenance Alerts

    Detect early-stage failure and schedule intervention before it escalates.

Avoid Costly Breakdowns and Maintenance Inefficiencies

  • High Thermal Load

    Stop-start driving and high-speed haulage accelerate oil breakdown.

  • Delayed Fault Detection

    Issues arise between services and may go undetected until failure.

  • Fuel and Soot Contamination

    Long idle times and high-pressure engines increase oil contamination risk.

  • Over-Servicing

    Fixed schedules can lead to oil changes before condition requires it.

  • Roadside Failures

    Unexpected breakdowns disrupt deliveries, add towing costs, and damage reliability.

  • Service Window Pressure

    Fixed-interval servicing strains workshop capacity during peak fleet use.

Proven Benefits Across Transport Operations

PREVENT UNPLANNED DOWNTIME

Detect faults early and avoid breakdowns that delay delivery schedules.

OPTIMISE MAINTENANCE TIMING

Service vehicles based on oil condition, not just time or distance.

CUT OPERATING COSTS

Lower oil and filter use, reduce labour, and avoid emergency repairs.

TRACK EQUIPMENT HEALTH

Monitor engines and drive-trains across fleet vehicles in real time.

IMPROVE ENVIRONMENTAL OUTCOMES

Reduce waste oil volumes and unnecessary part consumption.

ENABLE PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE

Act on live data trends instead of relying on fixed schedules or visual inspections.

Used Across Heavy Haulage, Public Transport, and Service Fleets

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.

Reliable Oil Monitoring for Commercial Vehicle Fleets

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.

Oil Sensors

Real-time oil condition analysis for fixed installations in standard and hazardous environments.

Kits

Pre-configured kits with sensors, displays, and cabling — engineered for quick install into engines, gearboxes, hydraulics, and rotating equipment.

Accessories and System Interfaces

Displays, gateways, and manifolds for integration, readout, and remote monitoring in any environment.

Tan Delta enabled us to prevent a catastrophic failure which would have cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The data we are getting is incredible. We can push our gear much harder with complete confidence.

Detecting degradation early has allowed us to prevent damage, and ensure equipment is always good to go.

Optimising our mobile plant maintenance across site allowed us to minimise downtime and increase productivity.

We have grown to trust Tan Delta’s solutions to tell us what’s really happening inside our equipment.

We were initially skeptical about whether we’d realise the cost savings, but not anymore.

Frequently Asked Questions

It provides real-time visibility into oil degradation, wear, and contamination, helping operators reduce breakdowns and optimise service timing.

The system is compatible with trucks, buses, vans, off-highway vehicles, and service vehicles using lubricating or hydraulic oils.

Yes. Oil condition data can be integrated with vehicle telematics, control systems, or viewed via cloud dashboards.

Data is available through on-site controllers or remotely via cloud dashboards, SCADA systems, or integrated control panels.

The system can detect thermal degradation, soot and fuel dilution, water ingress, and early signs of mechanical wear—well before failure occurs.

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.

Data can be displayed in-cab, sent to mobile devices, or viewed remotely via Tan Delta’s online platform, depending on your integration setup.
