Oil Change

Oil changes are critical for the proper maintenance and operation of semi-trucks. These heavy-duty vehicles typically have large engines and operate under extreme conditions, including high speeds, heavy loads, and long distances. As a result, they generate a lot of heat and put a significant amount of stress on the engine, transmission, and other components.

Regular oil changes are essential for keeping the engine lubricated and cool, reducing friction and wear, and preventing damage and breakdowns. Over time, engine oil can break down and become contaminated with dirt, debris, and other particles, reducing its effectiveness and causing damage to the engine. By changing the oil on a regular basis, truck owners can ensure that the engine stays clean, cool, and properly lubricated, extending its lifespan and reducing the risk of costly repairs.

It’s recommended that semi trucks have their oil changed every 15,000 miles or six months, whichever comes first. However, this can vary depending on the type of engine and the operating conditions, so it’s important to consult the owner’s manual and follow the manufacturer’s recommendations. Regular oil changes are a small investment that can pay big dividends in terms of improved performance, reliability, and longevity for your semi-truck.
