Protect Uptime. Prevent Failures. Save Money.
When you run mining, construction, or heavy equipment operations, you know one thing for certain: downtime costs money, a lot of it. One unplanned breakdown can wipe out a week’s production, throw project timelines into chaos, and rack up tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars per day in lost revenue.
At Fluid Life, we don’t just test your oil, we protect your uptime, your equipment, and your bottom line.
The #1 Need We Solve
Early detection of potential equipment failures before they become catastrophic. Our oil analysis and reliability services act as an early warning system, spotting trouble long before you can see it, hear it, or feel it. That means less unplanned downtime, lower repair bills, and longer equipment life.
How Fluid Life Delivers This Value
- Proactive Risk Management: Detect abnormal wear, contamination, and fluid degradation weeks or months before a breakdown.
- Actionable Insights: Clear, prioritized recommendations tailored to your real operating conditions.
- Proven ROI: Preventing even one major component failure can pay for your oil analysis program many times over.
The ROI is Real
Let’s put the numbers into perspective:
- Complete engine rebuild for a 200-ton haul truck: $250,000+
- Average daily cost of lost production: $40,000–$80,000 (depending on commodity)
- Annual oil analysis program for a large fleet: $25,000–$50,000 (depending on what is monitored)
- Savings from preventing ONE major failure: $300,000+. That’s a 6 to12x return on investment!

A Direct Message to Heavy Equipment Managers
Every hour your machine is down, is money you’ll never get back. With Fluid Life oil analysis, you’ll know weeks, sometimes months, in advance if a problem is developing.
That’s the difference between:
- A $20 oil sample
- A $200 filter change
- And a $200,000 rebuild
At Fluid Life, we turn oil data into uptime, reliability, and measurable savings. Because in this business, the best failure is the one that never happens. Contact us to find out more.
