Total Oil Australia explains why lubrication assessment and site audits aren’t as straightforward as they seem, and often require professional insight.

Total Oil Australia has a strong track record in the Australian mining, transport, civil and earthmoving industries, utilising its RUBIA range of heavy duty engine oils to improve operational efficiency and vehicle reliability across the country.

Within the currently active mining, construction and transportation industries, heavy equipment owners are faced with different designs of diesel engines requiring different oil performance specifications.

The question is by no means a one size fits all solution. Synthetic lubricants are designed for specific applications and are generally more resistant to oxidative processes.

Total continues to significantly invest its resources into research and development of their lubricant products designed for the mining, earthmoving and civil construction sectors.

Diesel engine oils: To remain on API CI-4 engine oil service classification, or transition to API CK-4 performance level? That is the question.

Following a hydraulic oil fire at an underground mine in the Asia region, an underground miner selected a fire resistant hydraulic oil over a mineral hydraulic oil.

In the fuels and lubricants space, global supplier Total argues that the most effective ways mines can reduce energy costs include using lighter viscosity grades of lubricants

Viscosity is an important physical property of lubricants when it comes to ways to increase fuel efficiency and lower costs.
