Specification by year

What your MT45 takes.

Oil grade and capacity from the manufacturer's service specification. Single-visit prices are for the oil change itself, before the $20 mobile service fee and tax; full synthetic is what we recommend, and basic (conventional) is shown where the engine allows. Confirm the engine code on your emissions label if your year lists more than one.

Fleet pricingThis vehicle is priced under the fleet program, not the consumer plan: $260 per vehicle per year plus $20 per on-yard visit (first 4 a year; $30 after) for vehicles up to 6 L (6.3 qt) of oil. Heavy trucks, diesel engines and large sumps are quoted. The posted price is our best first price; every fleet's program is fine-tuned from there. Every vehicle starts with a full condition inspection: a one-time $60 onboarding per vehicle, paid once — then that vehicle is in for life. Ask for a quote.
Questions

Freightliner MT45

What oil does your Freightliner MT45 take?

It depends on the year and engine — the table above lists the manufacturer's grade for each. Recent MT45s most often take 5W-30. We fill with full synthetic in the specified grade.

How much oil does your Freightliner MT45 hold?

8 L (8.5 qt) with a new filter, depending on engine. We fill to the dipstick and record the amount in your service record.

How often should I change the oil in my MT45?

On the plan, when the MT45's oil-life monitor reaches 10% or at 8,000 km (5,000 mi) — whichever comes later — or on Freightliner's published interval. If your MT45 is 2013 or newer, Aperio reads the oil-life monitor and books the visit when it's due, so you never guess.

Can you do the oil change at my home?

Yes. That's the whole idea — a licensed technician comes to your driveway, workplace or a legal street spot anywhere we serve, brings the right oil and filter for your MT45, and sends photos of the work.

What does a Freightliner MT45 oil change cost?

$186.60 for a full-synthetic oil change on the most recent MT45, plus the $20 mobile service fee — the table above shows the price for every year and engine. On the plan the oil change is included and you pay only that fee.

Is the Freightliner MT45 on the $199 consumer plan?

No. The MT45 is a commercial vehicle, so it is priced under the fleet program instead: $260 per vehicle per year plus a $20 mobile service fee per visit (first 4 visits a year; $30 after), for vehicles up to 6 L (6.3 qt) of oil. Heavy trucks, diesel engines and large sumps are quoted. The posted price is our best first price; every fleet's program is fine-tuned from there.
