What Damage Can The Wrong Oil Cause In Trucks?

What damage can the wrong oil cause in commercial vehicles?
 

When it comes to keeping commercial vehicles on the road, choosing and using the correct oil matters. Using the wrong oil in a truck, Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV), bus, or coach can cause serious and costly damage across the entire driveline. In fact, as highlighted by Morris Lubricants Technology Manager, Adrian Hill, the consequences can range from expensive repairs and unnecessary downtime to loss of earnings and even damage to a company's reputation.

Incorrect oil and lubricant selection can cause engine wear, overheating, aftertreatment failures and transmission damage — all of which can take vehicles off the road and hit the bottom line hard.

Unsure What Oil To Use?
If you don't know what oil is needed for trucks, HGVs, and lorries, then head to whatoildoineed.com where you can search by the Vehicle Registration Number (VRN). That is right, you can see exactly what oils and lubricants you need by just using a truck's VRN.

Simply enter the truck VRN into WHATOIL? and the recommended engine oils, gear & transmission oils, antifreeze coolants, greases and many other commercial vehicle lubricants will be shown specifically for that vehicle.
