Our Preventive Maintenance Services for Heavy-Duty Trucks & Trailers:

Preventive maintenance is all about catching issues before they happen. By taking a proactive stance on maintenance, you’ll lengthen the lifespan of your vehicle, prevent unexpected breakdowns, and save yourself a lot of money in the long run. For example, by changing your oil on a regular basis, you’re saving yourself thousands of dollars in engine repair bills. The same goes for services like coolant flushes, rust prevention, routine inspection, and other common preventive maintenance services. By far, the most important and most common preventive maintenance services out there are lubricant-based services.

Heavy-Duty Components That Require Lubrication

Diesel Engine

There are a lot of moving components within a diesel engine, and each one needs to be properly lubricated at all times. Since your engine gets extremely hot on a regular basis, your engine oil needs to be changed a lot more often than other components. The average service interval time is about 6 thousand miles. If your engine is not properly lubricated, friction will increase, your coolant system will fail to compensate for this extra heat, and your engine will overheat.

Transmission and Differentials

Both your transmission and differentials require lubricant at all times. Your transmission is responsible for optimizing your engine’s power, whereas your differential is responsible for transferring power to both wheels connected to it. Each one has gears that need lubrication, for otherwise, the gear will wear down and malfunction. Common service intervals for both transmissions and differentials are approximately 60 thousand miles.
