Diesel Engine Maintenance at The Auto Clinic

Preventive maintenance for diesel vehicles has also become similar to that of gas-fueled vehicles in recent years. The major difference is that diesels require cleaner fuel, air and oil, so their filters are more expensive than those for gasoline engines. The engine air filter must be changed more frequently as well.

The costs for car care and repairs are similar. Wait, you may be thinking, but you just told me that filters cost more and must be changed more regularly. True, but that is offset by the fact that diesel engines have a much longer lifetime than gasoline engines. So, if you are the type of owner who prefers to hang on to a vehicle for a long time, you will be more than rewarded with a diesel engine.
