Express Lube

Our Express Lube Services for Heavy-Duty Truck & Trailers:

There are a lot of moving components that need to be lubricated within your heavy-duty vehicle. This lubricant eradicates friction and ensures each component operates at an adequate temperature. Over time, each one of these lubricants will break down and become less effective. The higher the temperature they’re exposed to, the less time each lubricant will last. For example, transmission fluid lasts significantly longer than engine oil, for your transmission doesn’t get nearly as hot. As such, the average engine oil change interval is 6 thousand miles, whereas the average transmission fluid change interval is 60 thousand miles.

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.
