While diesel engines use a specific type of oil, diesel engines’ motor oil still breaks down over time, requiring replacement. As your diesel oil breaks down, it loses the ability to protect your engine properly, and issues can include damage to the engine, overheating, and a loss of protective and cleaning properties. When you need a Volkswagen diesel oil change, a certified professional can select the best diesel oil for your car and change it.
The heat and stress of regular driving in Virginia Beach causes your oil to lose its lubrication properties. Any additives added to your oil also break down, resulting in your oil losing its ability to keep your engine clean and protect it from common driving hazards. Old diesel oil should not be ignored, as over a long enough period of time, it can lead to performance issues and in extreme cases expensive repairs.
Like all other types of engine oil diesel engine oil has a specific usage lifespan. You should have your oil changed at least every 10,000 miles or once a year to keep your engine safe and running at its best. A certified technician in Portsmouth can recommend a diesel oil that fits your specific usage needs.
Diesel oil is uniquely formulated to work with the specific needs of your Volkswagen’s diesel engine. Unlike conventional oil diesel oil is designed to work with diesel engines’ specific needs, meaning it has different ingredients, different additives, and these additives are often in different amounts than those found in traditional oils. One such difference is that diesel oil tends to contain more detergents to help keep your diesel engine clean. One area where diesel oil is like conventional engine oil is that it comes in different types (traditional diesel and synthetic diesel) and various brands.
