FAQs
Yes, diesel cars generally require special engine oil that is formulated specifically for diesel engines. Diesel engine oil is designed to handle the higher compression ratios and operating temperatures found in diesel engines. It also has special additives to manage the soot, contaminants, and particulates that are more common in diesel combustion.
Diesel cars generally need to be serviced every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometers or every 6 to 12 months, whichever comes first. However, this can vary depending on the make and model of the vehicle, as well as how it’s driven. If the car is used for heavy towing, in harsh conditions, or for a lot of stop-and-go driving, more frequent servicing may be required.
It’s also important to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and keep an eye on any warning lights or unusual performance issues that may indicate the need for earlier maintenance. Regular servicing helps ensure that key components like the diesel particulate filter (DPF), fuel injectors, and turbocharger remain in good condition.
Yes, servicing a diesel car can cost more compared to a petrol car. Diesel engines are often more complex and parts like filters and fuel systems may require more maintenance. Additionally, diesel vehicles might need more expensive engine oil and specialised components. However over the long term the fuel efficiency for diesel cars that are driven over long distances tends to be better than petrol cars.
In terms of overall environmental impact, both fuel types have their downsides. However, diesel cars are often considered worse for urban air pollution, while petrol vehicles contribute more to long-term climate change. For a more eco-friendly option, you might consider hybrid or electric vehicles, which offer significantly lower emissions.
