Diesel Engine Service

Diesel Engine Service at Stanley Auto Group

When you drive a model that runs on gasoline, you shouldn’t have problems finding a mechanic that can service it. Things can get tricky when you’re dealing with diesel though, as not everyone is going to know how to take care of these specific engines. If you want to make sure that your model continues to run properly, then you should stop by one of our various Stanely Auto Group locations so that our service department can take care of your vehicle.

Understanding Diesel Engines

Diesel engines and gasoline engines are often confused, as many drivers think that they’re basically the same. While both need fuel to get where they're going, there are actually a few key differences that many drivers don’t know about.

• Skipping Some Services: You don’t need to replace your spark plugs when you’re driving a model with a diesel engine, as you won’t have any in the first place. Your fuel is ignited by pressure instead of a conventional spark, so there’s no need for them in the first place.
• Better Fuel Economy: Diesel engines tend to have better efficiency on average when compared to their gasoline counterparts. This is because they have a higher thermal efficiency, so your engine is getting more mechanical energy from each drop of fuel.
• What They Have in Common: Regardless of whether your engine uses diesel or gasoline, you’re still going to need frequent oil and filter changes.

Our Mechanics Can Treat Your Model

When you visit one of our service locations, you’ll be met with knowledgeable mechanics who understand diesel engines inside and out.

• Your Oil Change: A good majority of diesel engines require a different type of oil than would normally be used with a gasoline engine. Our mechanics will make sure that your model is taken care of properly, and we’ll make sure to replace your filter while we’re at it.
• Draining Your Water-Separator Collection Bins: This has to be done manually, but you won’t have to worry about it when you bring your vehicle to us. While you wait, it’ll be handled.
• Your Urea Injection System: We’ll make sure to refill your system so that you won’t have any problems passing your next inspection.
• Your Fuel System: While we’re working on your engine, we’ll make sure that there’s no trapped air so that you have great performance when you hit the road.

Solving Your Other Problems

If your engine needs work, then it probably isn’t the only thing that your vehicle needs help with. When you visit us, you might want to ask for some of our other services, like:

• A Tire Rotation: Your tires will need to be rotated every few thousand miles so that you can conserve and maintain your tread. While this can be inconvenient, you’ll find that they last a lot longer on the road.
• Headlight and Wiper Service: Both parts are key to visibility on the road. You should give them a quick check before you leave the dealership.
• Battery Service: Most diesel models have two batteries since you’ll need more power to crank your model over. You might want to check on how they’re doing while you’re here.
