DOT.FAST Service
Chevron’s DOT.FAST™ service provides onboard and onshore analysis of drip oil - a fast and accurate way to help improve the efficiency of your engine.

Why use Chevron’s DOT.FAST service?

With new legislation requiring the use of low sulphur fuel oil, it is more important than ever to select the correct cylinder oil and to balance conditions in your engine.

Drip oil analysis gives you the answer. Analysis of unburned cylinder oil which has passed through the combustion chamber and past the pistons and liners in the main engine is an effective way to monitor engine wear.
