What is this?

The Oiler Report is an extended fuel report. In addition to recording fuel, the oiler checks fluid levels (DEF, engine oil, transmission oil, hydraulic oil, coolant) and can report issues found during the check. Think of it as a mini-inspection that happens during every fill-up. The checklist is fully customizable.

Who is this for?

  • Oilers – Record fuel and check fluid levels in one workflow.
  • Equipment Managers – Get daily fluid status without waiting for scheduled inspections.

How to use it

Step 1: Start an Oiler Report

Open Fuel Report, tap +, and select Oiler Report as the template. Select your asset and fuel source.

Step 2: Record fuel and check fluids

Enter the gallons filled. Below the fuel entry, check each fluid level. Tap Pass or Fail for each item. If you added fluid, enter the quantity.
