Keep fluid problems from becoming production problems
Dilmar Fluid Services helps maintenance and reliability teams identify contamination, restore fluids and systems, secure the right equipment, and build programs that reduce downtime and total operating cost.
Oil Analysis • Filtration & Reclamation • System Cleaning • STLE-Certified Reliability Support
Small fluid problems become
expensive equipment problems.
Most equipment failures don’t begin with a broken machine.
They begin with fluid contamination that goes undetected.
The warning signs are easy to miss.
Moisture, particles, varnish, degraded additives and fuel contamination can remain hidden while damaging equipment. It is often the contamination you do not see that causes the greatest damage and failures.
One-time fixes do not prevent the problem from returning.
Cleaning or replacing fluid without identifying the cause can leave the system vulnerable. Root cause analysis helps identify and correct the underlying problem to reduce the risk of repeat failures.
Reactive maintenance costs more.
Emergency downtime, safety exposure, premature fluid replacement and recurring repairs can quickly drive up costs. A proactive and predictive maintenance approach helps reduce risk and improve long-term ROI.

Build a stronger lubrication program
DFS’s Industrial Reliability Management (IRM) approach helps your team uncover risks,
improve day-to-day practices and prevent recurring problems that lead to downtime,
waste and unnecessary cost.
Assess
- Plant and lubrication surveys
- Bulk tank and equipment audits
- Identify contamination and reliability risks
Standardize
- Improve oil storage and handling
- Establish cleaner, safer procedures
- Create more consistent lubrication practices
Train
- Onsite training and lunch-and-learns
- Sampling and oil-analysis instruction
- MLT- and MLA-aligned education
Measure and Improve
- Track fluid health and maintenance trends
- Identify savings and performance gains
- Show management the value of reliability improvements
Start with the problem you have now and build from there:
Identify
Sampling, analysis,
surveys and
inspections reveal
what is happening.
Restore
Reclamation, system
service, flushing and
fuel treatment
correct the
immediate problem.
Equip
Rental or purchased
equipment gives
the customer the tools
for continued control.
Prevent
IRM programs, training
and ongoing monitoring
help keep the
problem from returning.
What proactive fluid reliability adds up to:
Lower downtime risk
Identify developing problems
before they become
equipment failures.
EXTEND lubricant & equipment life
Protect critical assets
through cleaner,
healthier fluid systems.
Lower operating costs
Reduce fluid replacement,
disposal and unnecessary
maintenance expenses.
CLEANER MORE RELIABLE SYSTEMS
Restore system cleanliness
for more consistent
equipment performance.
BETTER MAINTENANCE PLANNING
Make informed maintenance
decisions through testing,
monitoring and data trending.
REDUCED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Reduce waste by extending
fluid life and improving
overall efficiency.
What people ask before they say
YES
Do I need a complete IRM program, or can DFS handle one specific problem?
No. Whether you’re addressing a single contamination issue or building a long-term reliability program, DFS can tailor services to your operation and goals.
How does DFS determine which service my system needs?
Our team evaluates your equipment, fluid condition, operating environment and maintenance objectives to recommend the services that will have the greatest impact.
Can DFS work during a planned outage or respond to an emergency?
Yes. DFS can coordinate services during scheduled maintenance windows and, when needed, respond quickly to help restore system reliability.
Can DFS support equipment and lubricants not purchased from Dilmar?
Absolutely. DFS supports a wide range of equipment, lubricants and fluid systems, regardless of where they were purchased.
How are service results documented and verified?
We provide testing, reporting and recommendations that document system condition, completed services and measurable improvements.
Can DFS help us demonstrate ROI to management?
Yes. Our reporting helps quantify improvements such as reduced downtime risk, extended lubricant life, lower maintenance costs and overall reliability gains.
Don’t take our word for it
"Every $1,000 invested in proper lubrication yields a savings of $40,000."
