FAQsFrequently Asked Questions

• How often do I need to get my Scania vehicle serviced?

  The service frequency for a Scania vehicle depends on factors such as the type of vehicle, age, the distance driven, and the operating conditions. You can refer to the owner's manual to know the intervals for various maintenance tasks such as oil changes, tyre rotations, fluid checks and replacements, and inspections. At Dynatrade Automotive, we recommend getting your Scania serviced yearly or every 6000 miles, whichever comes first.

• What are some of the most common problems Scania owners face?

  Common problems synonymous with some Scania models include electrical issues, oil leakage, airbag malfunction, steering shaft problems, and parking brake failure. Hence, you should regularly go for maintenance checks to ensure your vehicle is always safe to drive.

• As a Scania owner, how often should you have your oil changed?

  Thanks to advancements in oil and engine technology, vehicles can go longer between oil changes. For a Scania vehicle, the recommended oil change frequency is every 7500 to 10000 miles, depending on how you use the vehicle. If you use your Scania for racing, off-road driving, heavy towing, or commercial purposes, you should change the oil more often. On the other hand, if you use the vehicle for short trips or commuting, you can stick to the regular oil change interval.

• ​When should you bring your Scania vehicle to Dynatrade Automotive for servicing?

  At Dynatrade, we recommend servicing your Scania every 5000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. However, if you use your Scania vehicle in severe operating conditions, such as driving long distances or in extreme weather, you should service it more frequently. Also, service your vehicle if you notice issues such as weird noises, vibrations, weird noises, etc. Servicing ensures your vehicle operates at its best and helps you identify issues before they become large.

• What causes my Scania vehicle battery to fail?

  Several factors can contribute to battery failure in a Scania vehicle. Firstly, a battery over three years old can't hold a charge effectively and will eventually fail. Also, batteries tend to fail in cold and hot weather, and electrical issues can drain your battery, causing it to fail. If the charging system malfunctions, the battery can get overcharged, leading to failure. Battery failure is also inevitable if your vehicle vibrates excessively as you drive. If your battery fails, you can come to Dynatrade Automotive for a replacement.

• Why does my transmission slip?

  The transmission can slip due to low transmission fluid, failed transmission bands, worn transmission gears, clogged transmission filters, damaged torque converter, electronic issues, or wiring problems. If you experience these issues, have your vehicle diagnosed and repaired to prevent further damage.

• Why does my truck lose power when driving?

  Your truck can lose power while driving due to fuel delivery issues, engine problems, and faulty transmission. Also, if your exhaust system has issues, such as a clogged catalytic converter, your vehicle can lose power while driving. The same will happen if your battery or alternator malfunctions. Loss of power while driving can be dangerous, especially in the middle of nowhere or on a busy highway. If your vehicle loses power, have the issue fixed immediately to restore your vehicle’s proper functioning.

• What could be causing my Scania vehicle brakes to squeal or fail?

  Your Scania brakes can squeal or fail if the brake fluid is depleted. Also, if you have worn brake pads, they can't provide sufficient friction to stop the vehicle, producing a squealing noise and eventually failing. Additionally, if water or other contaminants contaminate your brake fluid, the brakes squeal. The same happens if you have worn brake calipers or bent brake rotors. For the safety of your vehicle, ensure the brake issues are diagnosed and repaired as soon as possible.
