febi unveils intelligent rapid test for oils and fluids

23 February 2026  

febi has introduced its fluid testing device, empowering workshops to analyse the condition of vital vehicle fluids — directly on-site.

Designed for cars, commercial vehicles, small vans and even agricultural machinery, this innovative system delivers professional insights into vehicle health, quickly and accurately.

At the core of the solution is an AI-based online diagnostic system that provides detailed analysis of essential fluids, including engine oil, brake fluid, transmission fluid (automatic and manual), hydraulic fluid and power steering fluid.

The device detects soot, coking and metal abrasion, assesses oil condition and wear, and identifies contaminants such as condensation, coolant or fuel. This enables workshops to make precise, data-driven service recommendations.

Once testing is complete, the system generates a comprehensive report in PDF format. These clear, easy-to-understand reports help workshops confidently communicate findings — such as the need for an oil change — strengthening transparency and trust with customers, febi said.

Beyond improving technical accuracy, the fluid testing device opens new revenue opportunities. By offering expert-level fluid diagnostics as part of routine servicing, workshops can enhance service quality, increase workshop efficiency and build stronger, long-term customer relationships.
