Insider knowledge,
better engine operation
Shell LubeVideoCheck
gives you “insider knowledge” about your engine
Discover how to optimise engine assessment
without dismantling, saving both time and money
Shell LubeVideoCheck is a state-of-the-art fibre-optic tool that allows us to inspect key internal engine
components including inaccessible areas such as the cylinder head, valves, cylinder walls and pistons without
dismantling the engine itself. All you need to do is remove the injector, glow or spark plug to gain access.
It’s a cost effective, efficient and non-invasive way of inspecting all engine and equipment components,
thereby minimising the time and costs associated with an engine strip-down and downtime. It allows you
to assess the engine’s condition and spot potential failures before costly mechanical damage occurs.
