Heavy-duty trucks are oil-driven machines. For the highest quality oil and fluid services in the Statesville, North Carolina area, the team at Gallaher Fleet Solutions is just a phone call away.
Heavy-duty trucks are oil-driven machines, meaning oil is used in most of their parts. Oil and fluid services for these trucks are very important to keep these machines running smoothly for many years — one example being oil changes at a local garage or dealership, which prevent leaks and prolong engine life.
Oil that burns too quickly or leaks can cause serious damage to your truck's engine. Oil that is low or that leaks can end up in the engine's cylinders, which can lead to pistons becoming oil-drenched and seizing (or sticking together). Replacing oil filters is also important, because keeping clean oil running through the engine is critical for performance and extending lifespan.
Other fluid services for light, medium, or heavy-duty trucks can include filter replacement, pan gasket replacement, pump changing or repairing, oil cooler line flushing, differential servicing, power steering fluid service, cylinder head changes, piston or connecting rod changes, oil pan cleaning, oil separator changing, transmission fluid checks, brake fluid checks, and even washer fluid top-ups. For all your oil and fluid services in the Statesville, North Carolina area, Gallaher Fleet Solutions is the first place you should call.

Oil and fluid services should be administered regularly on your trucks — low or leaking oil is one of the fastest ways to end up with a seized engine.
Oil isn't the only fluid that keeps a heavy-duty truck running. Watch for issues across these systems too.
Oil that's low or leaking can end up in the engine's cylinders, leaving pistons oil-drenched and prone to seizing or sticking together — a fast track to serious engine damage.
Replacing oil filters regularly is critical for heavy-duty trucks. Keeping clean oil running through the engine protects performance and extends the engine's lifespan.
Transmission fluid checks and brake fluid checks are part of a full fluid service — catching a drop in either early avoids a much bigger repair down the road.
Power steering fluid service and oil cooler line flushing keep related systems from overheating or wearing prematurely, alongside differential and washer fluid top-ups.
Thicker oil doesn't mean better protection, synthetic oil doesn't cause leaks, and switching between synthetic and conventional oil is perfectly fine. We bust three of the most common oil change myths and explain why darkening oil color usually means it's doing its job — not that it's time for an immediate change.
