Transwest Heavy Duty Truck A Service and Maintenance, Oil, Lubrication and Filter

Keep Your Heavy-Duty Truck & Tractor Running Smoothly with Transwest's Freightliner Lube, Oil, and Filter Preventative Maintenance Service

When it comes to heavy-duty class 8 tractors, regular maintenance is crucial to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Transwest understands the importance of keeping your vehicle running smoothly, and that's why we offer an exceptional Freightliner lube, oil, and filter preventative maintenance service. Our comprehensive service is designed to cater to all makes of heavy-duty class 8 tractors, providing the necessary care and attention your vehicle needs to stay in top shape. Discover the comprehensive offerings of A Service:

1. Thorough Tractor Lube Service

At Transwest, we believe that proper lubrication is the backbone of a well-maintained tractor. Our skilled technicians will conduct a meticulous tractor lube service, ensuring that critical components receive the lubrication they require. We pay particular attention to the front and rear suspension, 5th wheel, S-cam slack adjuster, and clutch release bearing. By lubricating these essential parts, we minimize friction and wear, promoting smoother operation and extending the lifespan of your tractor.

2. Inspection and Maintenance of the Fifth Wheel

The fifth wheel is a crucial component that connects the tractor to the trailer, allowing for proper articulation and maneuverability. Our service includes a detailed inspection of the fifth wheel, ensuring that it is functioning optimally and securely attached. A properly maintained fifth wheel contributes to safer towing, enhanced stability, and reduced strain on the vehicle's components.

3. Oil Replacement and Filter Installation

Regular oil changes are vital to maintain the health of your tractor's engine. During our preventative maintenance service, we will replace up to 44 quarts of oil, ensuring that your engine receives fresh, clean lubrication. Additionally, we will install a new oil filter, helping to trap impurities and prevent them from circulating through the engine.

4. Fuel Filter Replacement

To safeguard the performance of your heavy-duty tractor, we will replace up to two fuel filters as part of our service. Fuel filters play a critical role in preventing contaminants from entering the engine, ensuring that your tractor receives clean fuel for optimal combustion. By regularly replacing fuel filters, we maintain the efficiency and reliability of your vehicle's engine.

5. Fluid Level Check and Gearbox Inspection

To complete our comprehensive maintenance service, our technicians will meticulously inspect the fluid levels and gearboxes of your tractor. Proper fluid levels are essential for the smooth operation of various systems, including the transmission and hydraulic components. By identifying and addressing any issues with fluid levels and gearboxes, we help prevent potential damage and ensure that your vehicle continues to perform at its best.
