Known as the workhorses of the engine world, diesel engines are rugged, economical, and reliable. Over the years, these engines have advanced to include many unparalleled mechanical advantages and – cared for properly – they’ll guarantee a full, long service life.
Regular engine oil and filter changes ensure a peak-performing diesel engine. Diesel engines operate at higher temperatures than their petrol cousins, creating the need for regular oil changes and quality assessments.
An essential part of a vehicle maintenance strategy is a consistent, well-executed reliability-centred lubrication routine. Consistently applying the following four practices will ensure you get the most out of your diesel engine.
