Engine Oil & Fuel Analysis
Stop failures before they start. At Serva we analyse all oils for wear, contamination, and degradation – delivering clear results you can trust.
Reduce downtime, prevent costly failures and extend engine life.
We provide oil and fuel analysis designed for fleets and heavy-duty vehicles. Every sample is tested by ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 accredited laboratories, with results interpreted by our technical team so you get clear, actionable recommendations — not just data.
Why Analyse Oil and Fuel?
Oil and fuel analysis provides a detailed insight into engine condition and performance. Routine testing enables you to:
Detect early signs of wear — identify component stress in bearings, injectors and turbochargers before failure.
Spot contamination quickly — catch water, coolant, soot or microbial growth before they cause major damage.
Assess lubricant health — confirm viscosity, additives and oxidation are within optimal working limits.
Optimise oil change intervals — base servicing on data, reducing waste and unnecessary downtime.
Monitor fuel quality — ensure clean, compliant diesel or petrol for efficient combustion and injector protection.
Plan maintenance with confidence — make evidence-led decisions that cut costs and extend equipment life.
Our Analysis Services
Engine Oil Analysis
Comprehensive used oil testing that measures wear metals, contamination, and lubricant condition.
Our reports include:
Wear Metals: Iron, copper, aluminium, lead, chromium, nickel.
Contaminants: Water, coolant, soot, fuel dilution.
Oil Condition: Viscosity, oxidation, nitration, TBN/TAN balance.
- Particle Count: ISO cleanliness code to assess filter performance.
Oil analysis identifies early warning signs, allowing maintenance teams to plan repairs before failures occur.
Fuel Analysis
Fuel quality directly affects combustion efficiency, injector life, and emissions. Serva’s fuel testing verifies that your diesel or petrol meets specification.
Our reports include:
Water Content: Free and emulsified water levels.
Microbial Activity: Bacteria and fungus causing filter blockages or corrosion.
Density and Flash Point: Confirm fuel integrity and detect adulteration.
Particulates and Insolubles: Check filterability and injector risk.
Fuel analysis helps you detect contamination early, protect critical components, and maintain consistent fleet performance.
