Oil Change
How often should you do an oil change on a diesel engine?
Forum Discussion
Well ours seems to get changed before it gets dirty about 2000 miles a year at most lately. I know in Az when we had the oil changed it was still yellow in the drain pan. He asked why change it. Well it's been a year..
Depending on oil capacity and cooling, one year certainly is safe.
Oil does break down. I had a quart of auto brand synthetic sitting in garage for Mother In Laws car. She quit driving in 2001. I said, well, I'll use it in the truck. It came out slowly and then a big thick lump.
est advice is what the engine mfg says to change it at and more often if very hot or very wet or cold or dry or sunny or dark.
