Off-Highway Case Study: GB Unimot® Synth 6 10W-40

The Challenge

To reduce the customer’s inventory of heavy-duty diesel engine oils.

The Workshop Manager was aiming to reduce the number of products they kept in stock to reduce the chance of misapplication.

What challenge did this present to GB Lubricants?

The Technical team had to assess whether it was possible for one product to cover all engine applications across an entire fleet, whilst meeting the required Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) specifications.

The Solution

Cross reference all vehicles across the entire fleet and determine which product is best suited.

The Technical team completed an in-depth vehicle fleet survey to select the correct engine oil based on the OEM recommendations.

What details did the customer need to share?

The customer provided a few important details about their vehicles, including age, make and model. This allowed the Technical team to make the appropriate engine oil choice.

The Outcome

The customer now stocks one premium quality engine oil that can cover all vehicles in their fleet.

This saves space in the customer’s workshop and simplifies inventory and maintenance procedures, along with minimal risk of misapplication.

The Value

GB Unimot® Synth 6 10W-40 offers the highest level of rationalisation potential for a mixed fleet with formal approvals from several major off-highway equipment manufacturers. This has reduced the number of engine oils required, reducing the risk of misapplication. The customer benefits from the cost savings associated with the ability to now store one engine oil in a bulk tank.
