Timely maintenance is crucial for the longevity and efficiency of heavy-duty trucks. Here's a general guideline for the mileage intervals at which oil changes, fluid checks, and filter replacements should typically be performed.

‍

Synthetic Oil: Every 25,000 to 30,000 miles.

Fluid Checks

‍Regular Checks: Every 10,000 to 15,000 miles, or as part of a regular maintenance schedule.

‍

Detailed Inspection and Top-up/Change: Every 20,000 to 30,000 miles, or annually.

Filter Replacements:

Oil Filter: This should be replaced with every oil change roughly twice a year or every 6,000 miles.

‍

Air Filter: Typically every 20,000 to 30,000 miles, but more often in dusty or dirty conditions.
