How Jerry Trade Extended Oil Drain Intervals by 20% in Six Months

Champion lubricant service for a commercial bus fleet

Jerry Trade operates a mixed passenger and freight fleet across domestic and international routes. Different vehicle brands, demanding schedules and ageing equipment made consistent maintenance planning increasingly important.

The maintenance challenge

The fleet needed to reduce frequent oil top-ups, extend short service intervals and simplify lubricant selection across MAN, Scania, Mercedes, OTOKAR and SETRA vehicles.

A focused Champion solution

Working with Champion distributor Lager, the maintenance team introduced a compact product mix covering engine, transmission and hydraulic applications. Product selection was matched to the required OEM specifications, supported by technical guidance and on-site training.

Results after six months

  • Oil drain intervals increased by approximately 15–20%, depending on vehicle brand.
  • Oil consumption was reduced, lowering the need for top-ups.
  • Maintenance planning became simpler across the multi-brand fleet.
  • Consistent product coverage supported engine protection and equipment life.

The case shows how the right lubricant range, combined with practical distributor support, can improve fleet reliability while reducing inventory and service complexity.
