So, This is Your First Diesel

Through the years vehicle manufactures have made driving and maintaining diesel and turbo diesel vehicles as simple as possible. Such things as oil change intervals and fuel quality become more critical with the diesel, however, this part of maintaining a diesel has to be observed if the diesel engine, full system, and/or turbocharger are going to live as long as they should.
Oil change intervals are critical. Most people recommend every 3,000 miles under normal driving conditions and even more often under heavy loads or extremely dirt conditions. A high quality oil with at least a CD rating should be used. Multiviscosity oils are okay as long as they meet the CD rating, climate is important when determining whether or not to use a multiviscosity oil.
Most fuel systems rely at least partially on the diesel fuel to lubricate close tolerance components. It is very critical to keep the diesel fuel clean and free from water and other contaminants. If water is ever evident in the fuel system, it needs flushed out immediately. If the fuel filter is trapping the water you should probably check the fuel tank for more evidence of water. Water can be picked up with the fuel from a fuel supplier or may be a result of continued condensation, especially in the spring or fall when days are warm and nights are cool. Getting fuel from a reputable dealer is always a good idea and keeping your tank full as much as possible will prevent condensation. Once water has been removed from the fuel system, bacteria can still grow in the fuel. This bacteria is introduced by the water but can use the diesel fuel as a medium to feed and multiply. This bacteria will coat internal pump and injector parts and eventually cause performance problems. The bacteria can only be eliminated by killing it with a biocide fuel treatment and filtering out of the fuel. In extreme cases the fuel system, fuel lines, and fuel tank must be removed and cleaned in order to eliminate all of the bacteria from the system.
Over the past several years the lubrication quality of the diesel fuel has been questionable. The process that removes the sulfur from the fuel also deteriorates the lubrication quality of the fuel, as of yet there is still no lubrication standard agreed to by fuel manufactures and although some suppliers claim to add a lubricant back to the fuel each time a consumer fills their tank the lubrication could be different. The only insurance a diesel owner has against premature wear due to low lubrcity fuel is to add their own lubricant. There are several additives on the market that may supply the lubrication, however owners should stay away from any additive containing alcohol. Also getting the most for your money should also be a consideration. Consideration of other advantages. The additive may provide such as winterizers, cetane improvers, cleaners, etc. as well as quantity of treatment per gallon of diesel should be made when looking at getting the most for your money.
Since most diesel engines are now turbocharged, a few tips for prolonging the life of the turbo may be in order. The same oil change intervals mentioned earlier should be followed. The most common failure of automotive turbos is due to hot shutdown. This occurs when the vehicle has been running at a constant speed for a period of time and the vehicle is shut off before the turbo has had time to slow down. A turbo can spin at speeds exceeding 100,000 rpm, the faster the vehicle goes or the harder it works, the faster the turbo will spin. If a vehicle is shutoff suddenly the turbo will continue to spin without oil. Each time this occurs, the life of the turbo is shortened because of wear occurring from no lubrication. Eventually there will be enough wear to allow one of the wheels on the turbo to contact its housing. This causes the wheel to be out of balance. This causes even more contact and the turbo is usually destroyed. Allowing the vehicle to idle for a few minutes after its been running hard or allowing the exhaust temperature to cool to below 500 degrees will greatly reduce the risk of premature turbo failure.
Remembering the above situations and using common sense will allow miles and miles of life for your diesel engine
