Oil changes are the most frequent service any fleet needs, and they are also the easiest to let slide when every vehicle has to be driven to a shop. Under the Bus Auto performs fleet oil changes on site at your business, yard or job site in Canon City and throughout Fremont County. Your vehicles stay where they are, and your drivers stay on the job.
What Is Included in a Fleet Oil Change
- Drain and replace engine oil using the viscosity and specification required for each engine.
- Replace the oil filter.
- Check and top off coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid and washer fluid.
- Inspect the air filter and cabin filter.
- Check tire pressure and look for uneven wear.
- Look over belts, hoses and visible components for leaks or damage.
- Reset the oil life monitor where equipped and note the next service interval.
Gasoline and Diesel Engines
We change oil on gasoline cars, vans and pickups as well as diesel work trucks. Diesel engines require oil formulated for diesel use, and they hold more oil, so we plan quantities in advance. Diesel service is also a good time to address fuel filters and air filters. See diesel and work truck maintenance.
Choosing the Right Oil Change Interval
Many fleet vehicles operate under what manufacturers call severe service conditions: frequent short trips, long idle times, towing, dusty or gravel roads, and extreme temperatures. Those conditions are common in Fremont County, and they usually call for shorter oil change intervals than the normal schedule printed in the owner’s manual. We help you set intervals that fit how each vehicle is actually used.
Winter Considerations
Cold starts are when engines experience the most wear, because oil is thickest before the engine warms up. Using the correct oil grade for winter and keeping oil changes on schedule both help. Before cold weather, we recommend pairing an oil change with a fleet winterization inspection.
Proper Disposal
Used oil and filters are collected and taken for recycling. Nothing is left behind at your location.
