Fluid condition checks
Watch A Fluid Wear Out.
Fluid condition changes with miles, hours, heat, load, time, and service history. Use the fluid module below to see the examples shown on this page, then match the actual service interval and fluid specification to the truck before maintenance is performed.
Colors are for illustration. Fluid colors vary by brand and type, so always change fluids on the interval your engine and equipment makers specify, not by color alone.
A PM check that looks past the odometer
Walk The Truck With A Tech.
A preventive maintenance visit should look at the truck as a working system, not only a due date. Use the truck diagram below to review the inspection points and service areas shown on this page so wear, leaks, damage, and other developing issues can be identified while the unit is already scheduled for maintenance.
Steer Axle & Steering
The steer tires carry the truck's direction, so a problem here does the most harm. Steering wear usually shows up in the tires first.
- Tread depth, pressure and sidewalls
- Tie rod ends and drag link
- Kingpin play and wheel bearings
- Steering gear leaks and mounts
- Front brakes and hub seals
Engine & Fluids
The heart of every PM. Oil, filters and coolant are cheap next to an engine, and they're what keep one running.
- Engine oil and filter change
- Fuel filters and water separator
- Coolant level and strength
- Belts, hoses and the air filter
- Leaks, mounts and the charging system
Cab, Lights & Gauges
A warning light on the dash is a fault you can fix on your schedule, and many of these are inspection items too.
- Every lamp, signal and the horn
- Wipers, washer, mirrors and glass
- Dash warning lights and gauges
- Stored fault codes
- Seat belts and the cab mounts
Air & Fuel Tanks
Water in the air tanks and a tired air dryer lead to frozen lines and brake trouble in the cold. It takes minutes to check.
- Drain the air tanks
- Air dryer and its cartridge
- Compressor build-up time
- Air leaks at lines and fittings
- Fuel tank straps, caps and lines
Fifth Wheel & Driveline
The coupling holds the whole load to the tractor, and the driveline puts the power down. Grease and a good look keep both from wearing out early.
- Grease the fifth wheel plate
- Jaws, locks and mounting bolts
- Air and electrical lines to the trailer
- Driveshaft and U-joints
- Transmission fluid and leaks
Drive Axles & Brakes
Brake problems are among the most common reasons trucks are put out of service at roadside inspections. A PM catches them in the bay.
- Lining and drum wear
- Slack adjuster stroke
- Brake chambers and hoses
- Axle oil level and seals
- Duals matched and inflated
Trailer Tandems
Trailer wheel ends and brakes get the same abuse as the tractor's, and they're easy to forget when the trailer isn't yours every day.
- Tires and wheel ends
- Hub oil level and seals
- Brakes and slack adjusters
- Suspension, springs and air bags
- The ABS warning lamp
Trailer Body, Lights & Tape
Lights and reflective tape are how other drivers see a trailer at night. Doors, floor and landing gear are what the load rides on.
- Every lamp, reflector and the tape
- Doors, hinges and seals
- Landing gear and its crank
- Floor and crossmembers
- Mud flaps and the rear bumper

Commercial truck preventive maintenance FAQ · Louisville, KY
Preventive Maintenance Questions Before You Schedule.
Quick answers about commercial truck preventive maintenance, PM intervals, fluid service, fleet scheduling, mobile maintenance, and booking preventive maintenance in Louisville.
(502) 789-6644What is included in commercial truck preventive maintenance?
Commercial truck preventive maintenance is scheduled service that checks and services wear items before a failure forces the timing. The exact PM depends on the truck, mileage or hours, service history, manufacturer requirements, and the inspection and fluid items due for that unit.
How often should a commercial truck get preventive maintenance?
The right preventive-maintenance interval depends on the truck, mileage, engine hours, duty cycle, manufacturer schedule, and fleet maintenance plan. A single mileage interval should not be applied to every commercial vehicle, so the next PM should be based on the schedule that applies to that unit.
Can you perform preventive maintenance at my fleet yard?
Yes, eligible preventive maintenance can be scheduled at your yard when the work can be completed safely on site. If the PM requires shop equipment, more space, or work that is better handled in a bay, Superior can schedule the unit at the Louisville shop instead.
What fluids are checked or serviced during preventive maintenance?
The fluids checked or serviced depend on the truck and the maintenance that is due. The fluid module on this page shows examples such as engine oil and coolant, while the actual service should follow the correct fluid specification and interval for the vehicle.
Can preventive maintenance help reduce roadside breakdowns?
Preventive maintenance can help catch wear, leaks, service needs, and developing problems before they become an unscheduled breakdown, but it cannot prevent every failure. Its value is giving the fleet a scheduled chance to find and address issues before the road decides the timing.
Can you set up preventive maintenance for multiple fleet vehicles?
Yes. Superior Truck & Trailer can coordinate scheduled preventive maintenance for multiple fleet units. Share the vehicles, current service needs, and maintenance schedule so the work can be planned around the fleet instead of treating every PM as a separate last-minute visit.
What information should I have when I schedule a PM service?
Have the unit information, current mileage or hours when available, known maintenance due, and any symptoms or issues the driver has noticed. Service history is also helpful when available because it gives the shop a clearer picture of what has already been completed.
