When you visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a diesel oil change, you'll receive the same outstanding service and care that comes with our standard oil changes. In addition to changing your car or truck's oil, one of our ASE-certified technicians will replace and recycle your vehicle's old oil and oil filter, check your cabin filter and air filter, and perform a 19-point courtesy inspection. We'll also top off all of your essential fluids.
For gas-powered cars, conventional wisdom states that you should have your oil changed about every 3,000 miles, but diesel engines may be able to go longer. How often your car needs a diesel oil change will largely depend on how you drive, where you live (your climate), and what you do with your vehicle (i.e. do you often haul heavy loads or tow a trailer).
For instance, if you tend to take short trips around town and rarely reach a high MPH, you may need to change your oil more often than a diesel vehicle that regularly drives on the highway. At lower speeds and temperatures, the oil in a diesel engine will accumulate gunk and contaminants faster than if it's driven at higher speeds and allowed to reach hotter temperatures. Check your owner's manual for the best oil change interval for your diesel engine.
The cost of a diesel oil change will vary depending on where you go. In general, a diesel oil change can be more expensive than a standard oil change simply because diesel fuel and oil cost more than petroleum.
