When Is The Best Time For Your Engine Oil Change

Routine maintenance is among the most important things to remember when it comes to keeping your vehicle running safe on the road. An oil change is a critical element of your vehicle’s engine routine maintenance.
By staying up-to-date on regular engine oil changes, you can help ensure your vehicle has a long, healthy life.
Of course, while you may realize that oil changes are important, you may not understand why they’re so important. Luckily, Ogden Truck Trailer is here to help.
Why Should You Get an Oil Change?
One of the reason is that regular Oil changes play a key role in keeping your vehicle’s engine running.
This is because the engine in your vehicle has many moving parts. When your engine runs, its parts move and rub up against each other.
This motion and force creates heat which if not dealt with can cause damage. The Oil lubricates your engine and absorbs heat, ensuring that your engine’s internal parts work in harmony without overheating.
Unfortunately, over time, the oil in your engine will begin to break down reducing its ability to lubricate engine parts and absorb heat. It’s important to change your engine oil before it breaks down and results in potentially catastrophic engine troubles.
Now That You Know Why, It’s Time to Figure Out When

In general, it’s recommended that you get the oil changed in your vehicle every 5,000 to 10,000 km or every four months. Following this recommended schedule will help you keep your vehicle in the best condition possible, while providing you with a little leeway to get your oil changed at a time that’s most convenient for you.
Combining Routine pre winter Maintenance With Your Oil Change
Winter driving can be difficult on your vehicle. Low temperatures, salt, and heavy snowfall are just a few of the things that can impact its performance. That’s why once Summer ends, it’s important to

Symptoms of a Possible Bad or Failing Brake Master Cylinder

Image
Common signs of a faulty brake master cylinder include abnormal brake pedal behavior, contaminated brake fluid, and the Check Engine Light turning on. The brake master cylinder is one of the most significant and important components found on modern car braking systems. It serves as the central valve that pushes brake fluid through the brake lines so that the brake calipers can squeeze the pads against the rotors. It functions by pushing a metal rod through a cylinder to force fluid through the braking system to the wheels. One end of this rod is attached to the pedal and is actuated when the pedal is depressed. Usually a defective brake master cylinder will produce a few symptoms that alert the driver that service may be necessary. 1. Abnormalities in your brake pedal behavior One of the first symptoms commonly associated with a bad or failing brake master cylinder is abnormal brake pedal behavior.

Spring Maintenance Tips for Truck and Trailer

Image
 Now that Winter is over and spring is settled.  This is the best time to say thanks to our hard-working vehicles for their great performance this winter by giving it a maintenance overhaul.  A spring checkup can help uncover winter damage but there may be some components that are more difficult to check without requiring a skilled technician to determine the problem. Batteries, Plugs & Wires: After a winter full of cold-morning starts, you must check your battery, plugs and wires. All of these components give the spark to your vehicle and they work extra hard when it’s cold. Winter wear and tear can compromise their performance up to 60 percent. Test and replace weak or old batteries, plugs and wires, especially those more than three years old. It will certainly be cheaper than a tow and replacement down the road. Tire Pressure:   Cold weather can reduce tire pressure, so make sure all tires (including spares) are properly inflated and balanced. Improper tire pressure leads t
