Light duty diesels are engineering marvels that have incredible torque and horsepower ratings compared to gasoline-powered.
That along with fuel economy and smoother drivability make them a popular choice today. They’re also some of the most environmentally friendly vehicles on the road, emitting 40% less CO2 than gas engines today. Generally they are much better for the environment than their predecessors. HOWEVER, proper service and maintenance is critical to their longevity (see your owner’s manual or HA for details).
Remember our 3-Year / 36,000 Mile Nationwide Warranty
Diesel engines today are truly technological masterpieces with power ratings never thought possible just a few years ago.
Servicing light duty diesel engines in order to keep them in top shape and to keep their value and reliability intact takes skilled technicians that have extensive training in these systems.
