Lubricant TCO comparator
Calculate total cost of ownership (TCO) comparing your current lubricant vs LUBESOLUT alternative. Includes price, consumption, oil changes, included services, avoided downtime and conversion CAPEX.
Current product (what you use today)
What you pay per litre to your current supplier
Litres consumed per year in the application
Frequency of oil/sump changes
Labour + machine downtime per change
Oil analysis + external audit + training paid separately
LUBESOLUT alternative (proposal)
Price proposed by LUBESOLUT — usually slightly higher but offset by savings
How much longer the product lasts vs current (typical LUBESOLUT: +50%)
Downtime + conversion CAPEX
Cost of one hour of equipment stoppage (lost production)
Hours/year of downtime avoided due to improved lubricant reliability
Flushing + pre-analysis + seal compatibility when changing product
Estimated net annual saving
+27.933 €/year
TCO reduction of 104.2%

How real TCO is calculated
The price per litre is only ~30% of the total cost of ownership of an industrial lubricant. This tool considers the 4 components that determine real TCO:
- Product: price/L × annual consumption. Reduced by drain extension factor.
- Changes: changes/year × cost/change (labour + downtime). Reduced by drain factor.
- Complementary services: analyses, audits, training. If included with LUBESOLUT, these are eliminated.
- Avoided downtime: due to improved reliability of premium product (typical 10-50 h/year in industry).
