Diesel Oil Change Procedure

A diesel oil change consists of the same process that a gas motor would. The oil pan located underneath the vehicle will have a bolt in the bottom called the oil plug. Removing this plug drains out the oil currently in the motor. Each car or truck also has an oil filter, which needs to be replaced at each oil change. After the oil plug is reinserted and tightened and the filter is replaced, new oil is added according to the vehicle's specifications. Large diesel trucks generally take much more oil than diesel-run cars.

Diesel Oil vs Regular Oil

There are several critical differences between diesel oil and regular oil. Diesel oil is much thicker due to the added need for viscosity in diesel engines. This thickness allows the oil to lubricate the engine better and resist the heat of the motor. Diesel Oil generally comes with many additives specifically designed for diesel engines. With the added thickness and additives, diesel oil is specifically designed for diesel engines. Diesel oil generally needs to be changed at least once a year or every 10,000 miles.

Synthetic Oil vs Conventional Oil

Diesel engine oil has both synthetic and traditional options. Crude oil is used to manufacture conventional oil, while synthetic oils are manufactured in labs. While one is natural and the other human-made, they both lubricate well. Synthetic oils last longer than traditional oil due to the additives to resist breaking down. To find out which oil is better for your vehicle, speak with one of the oil experts at Casey Volkswagen.
