About two years ago, Kirk NationaLease Co. began using the OilMate automatic oil change system from EMP on all the new Ottawa yard tractors that we purchase and lease. We currently have about 15 systems running. Cummins ISB engines power these units.

We have had very few problems with the systems. In all cases the problems we had were caused by installation mistakes made by Kirk NationaLease Co. employees. In each case the people from EMP spent time and effort in assisting us in correcting the problem at no cost to Kirk NationaLease Co.

The systems along with the Lincoln automatic chassis lube systems allow us to leave the units on site at our customer’s lots when PM’s are due. We no longer need to transport these off-highway units back to our facilities to do the oil changes and lube jobs. This has saved us countless hours and has increased the productivity for our customers a like amount of time.

Our plan at Kirk NationaLease Co. is to continue purchasing the OilMates for all our future yard tractor needs.
