How often should I get oil and fluid maintenance?
Plus icon

Neglecting oil and fluid maintenance can lead to engine overheating, poor performance, and roadside breakdowns. We suggest you get an oil change every 5,000-20,000 miles and a fluid change every 30,000-50,000 miles.

Why do heavy-duty diesel trucks use air brakes?
Plus icon

Air brakes are preferred in heavy-duty diesel trucks because of their increased stopping power compared to the conventional hydraulic brakes you see in passenger cars.

How does my DPF work?
Plus icon

Your DPF is typically composed of ceramic or metal fibers that capture particulate matter when exhaust gases pass through them. The trapped particles are then burned off about every 300 miles, in a process called a “passive regeneration cycle.” If your DPF is clogged, we’ll force a regeneration cycle to burn off the particles.

How does my EGR work?
Plus icon

The EGR is essentially the first component in your after-treatment system. It recirculates a portion of the exhaust gases back into the intake manifold, which is then mixed with fresh air to lower the amount of NOx during combustion.

Does Diamond Fleet Service only service diesel engines?

What is included in Diamond Fleet Service’s preventive maintenance program?
Plus icon
