Boats, campers and toy haulers make Spanish Springs one of the heaviest towing areas we serve, and towing is the clearest case for the severe-service schedule. ★★★★★ 4.8 stars from 339 Google reviews Spanish Springs households own 2.74 vehicles on average and 88.5 percent own two or more (Census ACS 5-year 2024), the highest share in the Reno area. Drive Pyramid Way on a summer Friday and you can see where those extra vehicles go: boats headed to Pyramid Lake, side-by-sides on trailers, campers on the way over Donner. Every one of those trips is towing, and towing is what transmission makers had in mind when they wrote a severe-service column. ## Towing and the transmission A loaded trailer keeps the transmission in lower gears, raises the torque converter's slip and pushes fluid temperature up, especially on grades and in summer heat. Toyota tells owners to change transmission fluid more often when towing, and every truck manual we have read moves a towing vehicle to its severe or special-conditions schedule, typically between 30,000 and 60,000 miles. Many trucks have a transmission temperature readout; if yours climbs on the Pyramid Highway grade, the fluid is working hard. The [pickup truck transmission page](https://xpressoilandlube.com/services/transmission-fluid-service/pickup-trucks/) goes deeper on tow ratings and coolers. ## The long commute Spanish Springs also has one of the longest commutes in the county, a mean of 33.0 minutes (Census ACS 2024), mostly down Pyramid Highway into Sparks and Reno. Steady miles are easy on fluid but they accumulate quickly, and the stop-and-go at McCarran and the Spaghetti Bowl is not easy at all. ## From Pyramid Highway to Longley Lane Take Pyramid Highway south to I-80 west, then I-580 south to the Mill Street exit and Longley Lane south along the airport to number 4993. Sparks Boulevard to Greg Street and Rock Boulevard is the surface alternative. Mae Anne Avenue is a few minutes farther, about 27 to 30. Call (775) 828-6996 before bringing a trailer still hitched. ## In the bay - We check the level and show you a sample. - We read the towing note in your manual with you. - You approve a written recommendation, or decline it. - The specified fluid goes in by drain-and-fill or full exchange, as the maker allows. - If the sample shows metal or the truck slips under load, we tell you it may need a transmission shop; we do not rebuild transmissions. ## Hours Longley Lane is open Monday through Friday 8 to 5 and Saturday 8 to 3, closed Sunday.
