The recommended service interval for Powerstroke trucks is every 10,000 km or every six months, whichever comes first. However, if you use your truck in harsh conditions or for heavy towing or hauling, you may need to service it more frequently. If this is the case service intervals of 6,000km or every 4 months may be better suited.
A typical Powerstroke truck service includes an oil change, filter replacement, tire rotation, brake inspection, and a general inspection of the vehicle's key systems and components. Additional services may be recommended based on the specific needs of your truck.
Servicing your Powerstroke yourself can save you some money. Not to mention the general service tasks are also fairly easy to perform on your own. If you have a vehicle with relatively low km on it doing a majority of these services on your own shouldn’t be an issue. However SDS recommends that you have your powerstroke serviced and inspected by a professional technician every 40,000km. We also recommend that power strokes that have over 100,000km on them get serviced by a professional every other time it requires maintenance.
Some common problems with Powerstroke engines include injector failures, turbocharger issues, and problems with the EGR system. These problems can often be prevented by following the manufacturer's recommended service intervals, using high-quality fuel and oil, and keeping the engine clean and free of debris. Here at SDS we offer a wide range of preventative services for powerstrokes. If you would like more information on these services please contact us!
The cost of Powerstroke truck service can vary depending on the specific services required and the location of the service provider. Generally, you can expect to pay between $100 and $200 for a basic service, with additional services costing more. It's always a good idea to get a quote from a reputable service provider before scheduling any work on your truck.
