![]() ![]() Don’t be surprised if you change the lubricating oil in your diesel, run the engine for two minutes, and check the dipstick only to find that the new oil has turned pitch black this is normal and not a reason to change the oil again immediately.Your owner’s manual tells you the maximum interval you can wait between changes, but the more often you change the oil on any vehicle, the longer the vehicle will live and the healthier it will be. After you understand that distinction, the actual work involved is the same as it is for conventional vehicles except that you have to do the task more often on a diesel.Be sure to check your oil dipstick at least once a week, and change the oil filter every time you change the oil. This job requires lubricating oil that’s specially designed for diesel engines - not gasoline engines. Because diesel fuel is sometimes called diesel oil, be aware that the oil you have to change is not the fuel oil but the oil that lubricates the engine.
