Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get an oil change for my truck?
Some signs indicate that your truck may need an oil change before reaching 50,000 kilometers. These include:
- Strange noises in the engine: If you hear rattling or metallic noises, it may be a sign that the oil is no longer performing its function.
- Oil warning light: If the oil light turns on on the dashboard, it is time to check the oil level.
- Dark or thick oil: If the oil in your engine looks dark and thick, it’s time for a change.
What happens if I delay an oil change?
Engine oil is essential for lubricating the moving parts of the engine, avoiding premature wear and excessive friction. Over time, the oil loses its properties and must be replaced. If the oil change is not performed on time, it can negatively affect engine performance and reduce its service life.
When to change truck and trailer oil
Truck oil change should be done every 50,000 kilometers, although this may vary depending on the type of oil you use, the operating conditions of the truck and manufacturer’s recommendations. It is advisable to follow the instructions in the vehicle manual and consider factors such as use on dusty roads or extreme load conditions, which may require more frequent changes.
Types of oils for trucks and trailers
There are different types of oils that can be used in the engine of your truck or trailer. Conventional oils are cheaper, but synthetic oils offer greater protection and durability, making them ideal for heavy-duty vehicles. When choosing the right oil, you should also consider the viscosity and temperature index to make sure it is compatible with the engine type and weather conditions in your area.
Conventional oil
Conventional oil is the most widely used due to its lower cost. Suitable for trucks that do not operate in extreme conditions and require more frequent oil changes.
Synthetic oil
Synthetic oil is designed to provide increased protection and heat resistance, making it ideal for trucks that travel long distances or operate in harsh conditions.
What is truck and trailer lubrication
Truck and trailer lubrication is an essential maintenance process involving the application of lubricating grease to friction points and moving components in the vehicle. Its purpose is to reduce wear, minimize friction and protect critical parts of the system from corrosion and other damage.
Greasing should be done as part of preventive maintenance, usually every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers, depending on vehicle use and manufacturer’s recommendations. Vehicles subjected to extreme conditions, such as heavy load or dusty roads, may require greasing more frequently.
How often should I change the oil on my truck?
Usually every 15,000 km, although it may vary depending on the model and type of route you take.
What if I delay the oil change
The engine loses proper lubrication, increases friction and raises the risk of serious failures that can cost much more than a maintenance service.
Does the service include changing filters?
Yes, we always replace the oil filter and check the others to ensure optimal performance.
Can I use synthetic oil in my truck?
Yes, it is even recommended in many models because it offers greater protection and durability.
Do you offer home service for oil change?
Yes, we can make the change in your facilities or directly in the field, within Monterrey and surroundings.
