Oil & Filter Change
Clean oil is the cheapest protection your engine will ever get. We change oil and filters on commercial trucks at our shop on Pepper Drive in east Bakersfield, most units in and out in about an hour to an hour and a half.
Truck Oil & Filter Change Services
Your trucks earn when they’re moving, so we keep it simple. Bring it in, we service it properly, you’re back on the road the same day.
Every oil service includes:
- Engine oil drained and refilled to your engine's spec
- Oil filter replaced every time, never topped up around an old one
- Fuel filters and water separator checked, changed as needed
- Fluid levels topped: coolant, power steering, washer
- Chassis lubrication
- Belts, hoses and visible leaks checked while we're under there
- Tyre pressures and lamp check
- Anything we spot noted for you before you leave
That last line is why it’s worth having oil done at a truck shop rather than a quick-lube. Your truck is already up and open, so a few minutes looking at brakes, air lines and driveline catches problems while they’re still cheap.
Need more than oil? See full truck service or your 90-day BIT inspection, we’ll do them in the same visit.
What Type of Oil Does Your Commercial Truck Need?
your engine rather than a generic recommendation
Engine specification
Your manufacturer sets the grade and performance category. Modern heavy-duty diesels running aftertreatment need low-ash oils, the wrong category shortens DPF life.
Duty cycle
A truck running steady loads on I-5 and a truck doing short agricultural runs out of Lamont and Arvin aren't on the same schedule, even with the same engine. Idle hours count too, and most operators don't count them.
Climate
Bakersfield summers sit well over 100 degrees. Heat and heavy idling both work oil harder than the odometer suggests.Not sure what your engine takes? Tell us the unit, and we'll tell you.
