Diesel Oil Change

Oil Changes & Diesel Engine Maintenance

Diesel engines generate greater torque using less fuel. This characteristic makes diesel engines appealing for heavy-duty operations such as towing all kinds of heavy loads. Your Ford diesel engine works hard for you, so be sure to schedule oil changes that keep the engine lubricated, cool, and protected against excessive wear and tear. Also of importance is adjusting the oil change schedule according to severe operating conditions. Adopt a more frequent oil change interval if your Power Stroke diesel engine frequently tows heavy loads.

Diesel Oil Change Service Overview

Diesel oil change service starts with a certified technician removing the spent oil filter and sludgy oil from the engine. We will inspect the engine for oil leaks and install the recommended original equipment motor oil and oil filter to specifications. Oil change services include a complimentary multi-point vehicle inspection.

Extended Oil Change Risks

Extended oil changes are always a risky proposition with the risk only increasing for diesel engines operating in severe conditions. It is important to keep the engine lubricated and cool to protect the internal parts. It is equally important to adopt a shorter oil change schedule if operating in the severe conditions detailed in the Ford owner’s manual. Late oil changes cause increased friction, excessive heat, head gasket damage, reduced fuel efficiency, increased maintenance cost, and shorter engine life.
