Your heavy-duty commercial vehicle is full of different fluids that are designed to either absorb heat or lubricate moving components. Although these fluids generally last a long time, they still break down and need to be replaced on a regular basis. Fluids that break down include your engine oil, engine coolant, transmission fluid, differential fluid, steering fluid, hydraulic brake fluid, and more. Fortunately for anyone that needs oil and fluid services, we here at IBEX Diesel Repair will replace oil and fluids of all kinds. 

Components That Need Oil or Fluid

Heavy-Duty Diesel Engines

In order for your heavy-duty diesel engine to run properly, it needs both oil and coolant. Your engine oil is responsible for lubricating the various moving parts within your engine, and your coolant is responsible for absorbing and dispersing heat. Over time both of these fluids break down and need to be replaced. If you’re in need of an oil or coolant change, give us a call, and we’ll book you in for service. 

Transmission and Differential Fluid

Your transmission and differentials both need fluid in order to lubricate their moving gears. Since your transmission and differentials don’t get nearly as hot as your engine, their fluids don’t need to be replaced at the same rate. Most manufacturers recommend you change your transmission and differential fluids once every 60 thousand miles, but depending on your towing and hauling habits, that interval may change.
