When's the last time you changed the oil on your trailer?

Re: When's the last time you changed the oil on your trailer?

My trailer came with lifetime oil change plan. They told me I'd never have to change the oil and so far so good. They pulled one over on me, though. I was under the impression that included all lube including wheel bearing pack/repack and it didn't. I feel like I paid extra for nothing

Take it to a chain, quick oil-change place with nothing but a bunch of 20 year-olds and see what happens.

Do it at enough places, and one is BOUND to charge you for oil and a filter...

Nah, no way. They won't be able to look the trailer up on the computer

I wish I screen shotted the Oil Change text alerts I was getting on my phone when we leased an ALL ELECTRIC 2013 Nissan Leaf for three years, oh and the courtesy reminder voice messages.

Re: When's the last time you changed the oil on your trailer?

This is BS.

I have NEVER changed the oil in ANY of my trailers, and I have never had any problems.

YMMV.

Re: When's the last time you changed the oil on your trailer?

The only reason you have to change the oil in cars is because they have odometers. Trailers don't have odometers, so there you go!
