Efficient Lube Exchange for Local Councils: How Busselton Shire Council Improved Fleet Maintenance with Oil Vac

Why More Local Councils are Switching to Oil Vac’s FEMCO Drain Fittings

The Struggle with Traditional Servicing: A Daily Grind

For the team at Busselton Shire Council, maintaining a fleet of 120 vehicles was becoming increasingly challenging. The traditional servicing methods were cumbersome, time-consuming, and messy – and no longer cutting it. With pressure mounting to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and maintain high safety standards, the council needed a better way to keep its operations running smoothly.

A Chance Encounter That Changed Everything

It all started at the Dowerin Machinery Field Days in 2018, where one of Busselton Council’s team members discovered Oil Vac’s innovative lube exchange systems and sump plug fittings. What began as a simple curiosity quickly evolved into a solution that would transform their entire servicing approach. The Oil Vac system promised a simpler, cleaner, and more efficient workshop and field servicing method, and Busselton Shire Council decided to take the plunge.

Revolutionising Fleet Maintenance: The Oil Vac Difference

With the Oil Vac system in place, everything changed. The council’s biggest headaches — time wasted on lengthy services, constant fear of spills, and the tedious clean-up process — were suddenly a thing of the past. Oil Vac’s FEMCO drain fittings and Mobile Workshop Trolleys, provided a seamless solution that delivered on all fronts:

  • Safety First: Oil spills became a distant memory, making the work environment safer for everyone involved.
  • Efficiency Unleashed: Servicing times were slashed, allowing the team to accomplish more in less time.
  • A Cleaner, More Productive Workshop: The days of messy spills and oil-stained floors were gone, replaced by a cleaner, more organised workspace.
