The experts at Big Shop Diesel Services understand the importance of proper maintenance for your semi-truck, and that includes regular oil changes.
How is My Truck’s Oil Change Frequency Determined?
The frequency of oil changes for your truck will depend on a variety of factors, including the age of your truck, the quality of the oil, and the conditions in which you are driving. While a general guideline for oil changes is every 25,000 miles, there are ways to extend the lifespan of your oil, such as driving at consistent speeds on the highway and maintaining a healthy engine. On the other hand, driving long distances through extreme weather conditions or on rough roads can shorten the lifespan of your oil.
How do I Know it's Time for an Oil Change?
It is always a good idea to check your truck between oil changes to determine if you need to bring it in sooner. One way to assess the health of your engine oil is by checking the dipstick – simply remove it, wipe it down, reinsert it, and then remove it again to evaluate the oil level. The color of the oil is also a good indicator – it should be almost transparent. Pay attention to the lights on your dashboard as well – many trucks have a “maintenance required” light that will turn on when it is time for an oil change.
How Much Does an Oil Change Cost?
The cost of an oil change will vary depending on the type of oil used, the filter being replaced, and the cost of labor. For a more accurate quote, contact Big Shop Diesel Services and let them know about your truck’s specific needs.
How Long Will it Take For My Oil Change to Be Completed?
The wait time for an oil change can also vary, but on average it takes about forty minutes to an hour. At Big Shop Diesel Services, we value your time and strive to get you back on the road as quickly as possible.
During an oil change at our shop, our team of experts will drain the old oil from your truck and remove the old filter. We will then replace the oil pan, insert a fresh filter and oil, and follow the manufacturer’s specifications.
