Which oilfield service truck fits your job site?

On active job sites, keeping rigs and yellow iron operational is just as important as the work itself. Every time heavy machinery leaves the site to refuel or receive routine maintenance, productivity slows and costs rise. That is why fuel lube and 4x4 6500 lube trucks have become essential oilfield service trucks across oil and gas, utility and construction projects.

Fuel lube trucks and 4x4 6500 lube trucks bring onsite maintenance directly to the equipment. Instead of pulling machines off the job site for refueling or routine service, crews can manage fueling, oil changes and lubrication where the work is happening without unnecessary downtime.

Although both truck types bring maintenance directly to the equipment, they are built for very different job-site conditions. Choosing the right option depends on how much fuel and fluid is needed, where the equipment is located and what level of mobility the site requires.

Key differences between fuel lube trucks and 4x3 6500 lube trucks

Fuel lube trucks are designed for job sites that need fueling and lubrication in one unit:

• Carry road fuel along with oil, antifreeze and DEF
• 2,000-gallon DOT-406 certified fuel tanks with built-in safety features
• Enclosed service bodies for all-weather operation
• Digital metering systems for precise fluid dispensing
• Integrated waste oil recovery system for on-site service
• Require CDL and hazmat-certified operators

Why choose a fuel lube truck:

A fuel lube truck is the right choice when a job site needs a single mobile unit to handle both fueling and lubrication at higher volumes. It works best for centralized operations where multiple machines are serviced in one location and where crews can support CDL and hazmat requirements. This option is ideal for projects that demand continuous uptime and full-service capability from one platform.

4x4 6500 lube trucks are designed for lubrication-focused service in remote or rugged environments:

• Carry fresh oil and used oil tanks without road fuel
• Multiple product delivery systems for oil, antifreeze, DEF and air
• 50-foot hose reels for each system
• Hydraulic-driven piston compressor (30 CFM at 100 PSI)
• 4x4 drivetrain for off-road and hard-to-reach equipment
• Enclosed service bodies for protection in harsh conditions
• Do not require CDL or hazmat certification

Why choose a 4x4 6500 lube truck:

A 4x4 6500 lube truck is the better fit when lubrication is the primary need and equipment is spread across remote or difficult terrain. Its off-road capability allows crews to reach hard-to-access machines without transporting fuel, while remaining accessible to a broader range of operators. This makes it well suited for oilfield projects where mobility and reach matter more than fuel capacity.

Fuel lube trucks and 4x4 6500 lube trucks both play a critical role in keeping job sites productive. By delivering fueling and lubrication directly to the equipment, these oilfield service trucks help crews reduce downtime, improve efficiency and maintain momentum across demanding projects.

Whether a job site requires high-capacity fueling and lubrication from a centralized service unit or mobile oil service that can reach equipment across remote terrain, choosing the right truck depends on the scope of work, site conditions and how the unit is upfit to support those needs. Matching the service solution and upfit configuration to the job ensures crews have the support they need without overbuilding or underutilizing equipment.
