The following are the Top 5 Maintenance Tips For Diesel Engines:
Screen Your Coolant
Your diesel engine’s coolant is one of its most crucial maintenance demands. If it continues to be acidic it can rot out various other components in the car’s cooling system like the radiator.
Keep it clean
Keeping your diesel engine clean is essential for its preservation. The 3 areas that are crucial to keep clean is in the diesel’s fuel, oil, and air.
Fuel Filter Changes
Fuel filters should be changed regularly, roughly every 10-15K miles. Most of the more recent diesel motors can have 2 fuel filters. Both filters should be changed at the same time for optimum performance, and this must be done at roughly 15K miles.
Effective Air Filters
Depending on the climate and environment that you’re driving in, the air filters may require close monitoring. You can protect your engine by ensuring the air filters are clean.
Regular Oil Changes
Your diesel engine’s oil changes should be approximately every 5K miles. Depending on your driving characteristics, you may have to change your oil sooner. If your diesel engine is utilized for hard-driving and towing, then you may want to get your oil changed more frequently.
