oday’s new trucks are designed for maximum performance and fuel economy while producing environmentally friendly emissions. In order to achieve this the operating systems are very complex and require professional maintenance performed by service centers that are trained and equipped with the latest tools and knowledge. Combined with tighter tolerances and high grade lubricating oils the actual oil change intervals have become surprisingly greater in mileage. This being said there is many factors that will determine how often the truck is serviced ie: idle time, fuel economy and weight being hauled. Outside the actual oil change the other maintenance is pretty standard with all engines and manufactures. Every 10,000 Km a grease and check over are highly recommended. This would be a very quick grease and a visual check of all fluid levels, steering & suspension components and look for any possible wear issues that should be addressed. All this is repeated at the oil change as well. One of the good things about the extended intervals is the reduction in maintenance cost to the owner but as a Fleet Maintenance Manager and Engine Technician I found adding that 10,000 Km check over is valuable as it could catch something that could have resulted in a breakdown, tow and downtime which is pure loss of revenue. The other important maintenance procedure would be the initial valve set in a MX engine recommended at 190,000 km. This has proven to be something that is looked at by engineering on some engine failures and if found not performed could result in warranty denial regardless the status of warranty. Keep in mind that this is preventative maintenance that helps reduce but doesn’t eliminate breakdowns. Spending a little now saves a lot later.

oday’s new trucks are designed for maximum performance and fuel economy while producing
environmentally friendly emissions. In order to achieve this the operating systems are very complex and require professional maintenance performed by service centers that are trained and equipped with the latest tools and knowledge. Combined with tighter tolerances and high grade lubricating oils the actual oil change intervals have become surprisingly greater in mileage. This being said there is many factors that will determine how often the truck is serviced ie: idle time, fuel economy and weight being hauled. Outside the actual oil change the other maintenance is pretty standard with all engines and manufactures. Every 10,000 Km a grease and check over are highly recommended. This would be a very quick grease and a visual check of all fluid levels, steering & suspension components and look for any possible wear issues that should be addressed. All this is repeated at the oil change as well. One of the good things about the extended intervals is the reduction in maintenance cost to the owner but as a Fleet Maintenance Manager and Engine Technician I found adding that 10,000 Km
check over is valuable as it could catch something that could have resulted in a breakdown, tow and downtime which is pure loss of revenue. The other important maintenance procedure would be the initial valve set in a MX engine recommended at 190,000 km. This has proven to be something that is looked at by engineering on some engine failures and if found not performed could result in warranty denial regardless the status of warranty.

These engines do not have an application variance in their intervals.The full lube system
change is 24,000 Km or 600 Hrs. At these intervals of all engines it should include a full B service and some fleets have their own and some have just a Quick Lube sheet that checks a number of components and from there more can be added thus the suggestion of ensuring the truck goes to an appropriate service center and even better if a maintenance plan is offered as an option by the dealer this is money well spent.
The aftertreatment system in both Paccar and Cummins are the same and other than component size between heavy duty and midrange the service interval is the same as well. (see chart below) This mileage is a maximum and there will be other indications that will show it’s time for maintenance. If the engine begins to regen quite frequently this is a sign the soot level is high and filter needs to be removed for cleaning using an approved cleaning and baking machine. The fastest way is to go to a shop that has a machine or one nearby. The next option is an exchange program where yours would be removed and a tested clean one installed. The SCR system as well has indicators that show up as engine lights but may be maintenance related so warranty would not apply so charges will be towards the customer. When purchasing a new truck please take all the information into account when making your decisions and as a fleet manager and technician a prepaid dealer maintenance plan is added value and dollars saved down the road.
