What oil do diesel trucks need?

Diesel trucks require oil specifically formulated for diesel engines, commonly 15W-40 or 5W-40 with a diesel-rated specification such as API CK-4. Diesel oil contains additives that handle the higher soot levels, heat, and pressure that diesel engines produce, so using gasoline-engine oil in a diesel can cause damage. Diesel engines also typically hold more oil and use larger filters, so service can cost more than a standard gasoline oil change. Change intervals vary by truck and use, but towing and Miami's heat are severe conditions that call for staying on schedule. Using the correct heavy-duty diesel oil keeps your engine protected and your warranty intact. Motoro Cars' ASE-certified technicians service diesel trucks with the proper oil and filters.
