Are you wondering if your heavy-duty vehicle is due for an oil and fluid change? At Fleetworks Inc. in Oakland & Santa Fe Springs, CA, we specialize in maintaining the heart of your vehicle—its engine. Ensuring your truck's oil and fluids are in top shape is vital for its longevity and performance.
How Long Can You Go Without an Oil Change?
Typically, heavy-duty diesel engines should not exceed 10,000 miles without an oil change. However, factors like engine type, oil quality, and driving conditions can influence this interval. Regular changes maintain engine health and efficiency.
Does Synthetic Oil Last Longer Than Conventional Oil?
Yes, synthetic oil does last longer than conventional oil. It's designed to withstand higher temperatures and harsher conditions, making it ideal for heavy-duty engines. This means fewer changes and better engine protection over time.
Signs Your Truck Needs an Oil and Fluid Change
Although oil is a critical part of keeping your truck healthy, it can be difficult to know when your truck requires an oil change. Apart from being outside of your 10,000-mile service interval, be on the lookout for these clear indicators:
Dark or Dirty Oil: Clean oil is amber in color. If it's dark or gritty, it's time for a change
Engine Noise and Knocking: Proper lubrication prevents engine parts from grinding, and noises can signal oil issues
Oil Smell Inside the Cabin: Telltale of an oil leak, possibly leading to engine overheating
Excessive Mileage: High mileage can degrade oil quality, requiring a change
Check Engine Light: Often triggered by oil-related issues
Oil Texture: If it’s gritty or has particles, the oil needs replacing
Decreased Performance: Sluggishness or decreased efficiency can signal oil problems
