Elements of Our Oil & Fluid Repair Services at Lone Star Tire & Diesel Services

Engine Oil

Engine oil is critical for the proper functioning of a heavy-duty truck engine. The oil lubricates moving parts, reduces friction, and helps to dissipate heat. However, problems can arise if the oil is not maintained correctly. Common issues include oil leaks, sludge buildup, and contamination by debris or moisture.

To avoid these issues, it's essential to choose the right oil for the truck's engine. This can depend on factors such as engine type, age, and usage. The recommended oil change intervals can vary depending on these factors as well, but it's generally recommended to change the oil every 10,000 to 15,000 miles or every six months, whichever comes first.

When performing an oil change on a heavy-duty truck engine, it's important to follow the proper procedure. This includes draining the old oil, replacing the oil filter, and adding the correct amount and type of new oil and that is where Lone Star Tire & Diesel Service comes to your aid!

Transmission Fluid

Transmission fluid is used to cool and lubricate the gears in a heavy-duty truck's transmission. Common problems with transmission fluid can include contamination, leaks, and low fluid levels. These issues can result in poor transmission performance and even failure.

To prevent these problems, it's important to use the correct transmission fluid for the truck's make and model and to follow the manufacturer's recommended change intervals. These can vary depending on usage, but it's generally recommended to change the fluid every 30,000 to 50,000 miles.

Differential Fluid

Alan Lopez

Family owned where you feel like part of it. King pin, front axel leaf spring and all brakes replacement performed plus alignment( about 3 blocks straight when tested, didn't try more for safety reasons) . No issues at all. Easy access shop for small trucks and trailers surrounded by a huge yard where parking spots available for rent. King pins removed with the proper press no hammer, no heat. Third party financing available. I strongly recommend this business.

Orlando San Jorge

Excellent shop, every work done here is +5 stars, but alignment is from other world, if you make your alignment here, you really get what you are trying to get, maybe the only place in USA where this job is really well done! Nice people, friendly, they took a little longer than other shops, but is just a value added to get the quality they offer in their works. If I have to say it in numbers, I should say: 99.9% of the times you don't have to came back to the shop for the same issue. Nice work guys, keep it that way!
