Truck Oil & Fluid Services in Springfield, Tennessee

Simple repairs are often the most important. Keeping your fluids maintained is essential to the proper function and longevity of your vehicle. The team of technicians at Brant Jones Auto & Towing can get your oil and fluids changed in a jiffy.

One of the most important fluid services for a commercial truck is an oil change. Just like in a car, regular oil changes are necessary to keep the engine running smoothly and efficiently. The oil in a truck's engine helps to lubricate the moving parts and keep them from wearing out prematurely. It also helps to cool the engine by carrying heat away from the combustion chamber.

At Brant Jones, we use high-quality oil that meets the manufacturer's specifications for your specific make and model of truck. We also use a high-quality oil filter to help remove contaminants from the oil as it circulates through the engine.

When To Change The Oil In Your Truck

The frequency of oil changes can vary based on the specific make and model of the truck, as well as how it is used. Some trucks may need an oil change every 5,000 miles, while others may be able to go as long as 15,000 miles between oil changes. It's important to refer to the owner's manual or consult with a qualified mechanic like the team at Brant Jones Auto & Towing to determine the recommended oil change interval for your truck.

Signs That It’s Time For An Oil Change

There are a few signs that your truck may be due for an oil change. These include:

• There’s a burnt smell to the oil or it looks visibly dirty and contaminated
• The oil level is low or the oil pressure warning light is on
• The truck is using more oil than usual

If you notice any of these issues, it's a good idea to bring your truck to a mechanic for an oil change as soon as possible.

Other Fluid Changes Brant Jones Performs

With Brant Jones Auto & Towing, we not only handle standard oil changes for your truck but our team is also equipped to handle changes for other fluids your truck uses during daily operation, like transmission fluid or power steering fluid. We use nothing but top-shelf products in these changes, so you can rest assured that your truck is getting nothing but the quality it deserves!

Transmission Fluid Change

The transmission is an essential component of a diesel truck, and it relies on transmission fluid to function properly. The fluid works by providing lubrication to your transmission’s various moving parts and works to cool things down to prevent overheating. Like other fluids in your truck, the transmission fluid can become dirty or low over time. A transmission fluid change involves draining the old fluid and replacing it with fresh, clean fluid. This helps to keep the transmission running smoothly and can help to prevent costly repairs down the road.

Power Steering Fluid Change

The power steering system in your diesel truck uses power steering fluid to help make it easier to turn the wheels. Over time, the power steering fluid can become dirty or low, which can make it harder to steer the truck and pose a safety risk to you and those around you; given you’re driving several thousand pounds of steel, keeping the powering steering working as intended is of utmost importance. Like our oil and other fluid changes, we’ll drain out any remaining fluid and perform a full system flush before refilling the reservoir.
