Keeping your heavy-duty truck's oils and fluids in peak condition is integral to your performance on the road. Failure to maintain these can grind your operations to a halt. When you choose an oil and fluid service from our team in Tyler, TX, you're choosing quality, reliability, and efficiency.
How Long Can You Go Without an Oil Change?
In heavy-duty diesel engines, delaying an oil change for more than 10,000 miles can lead to significant wear and tear, compromising the engine's performance and longevity.
Causes of Fluid and Oil Failure in Heavy-Duty Trucks
Being aware of what causes your truck's oil and fluids to break down and stop working is the first step to preventing major repairs and ensuring your truck's longevity. Be aware of the following:
Contamination: Contaminants like dirt, water, and soot can infiltrate oil and fluids, causing corrosion and damage to engine components.
Overheating: Excessive heat can break down oil and fluids, diminishing their lubricating and cooling abilities, leading to engine overheating.
Leakages: Oil or fluid leaks, often due to failed seals or gaskets, can lead to low levels and insufficient lubrication or cooling.
Inadequate Maintenance: Skipping regular checks and changes of oil and fluids can lead to accumulated contaminants and degraded performance.
Use of Incompatible Products: Using the wrong type or grade of oil or fluid can cause adverse chemical reactions and damage to engine parts.
Age and Wear: Over time, oil and fluids lose their effectiveness and require timely replacements to maintain engine health.
Improper Filtration: A failing or clogged filter can't remove contaminants effectively, leading to dirty oil or fluid circulating in the system.
