The heads on your commercial or fleet diesel are one of the most integral parts of your engine. The heads are comprised of the valvetrain, exhaust ports, intake ports, and injector ports.

At Schaeffer Automotive in Huntingburg, IN, we recommend always making it a priority to change your oil on time. Here’s a look into why it’s so important, and what happens if you don’t keep up with oil changes.

Sludge - If oil stays in an engine too long, sludge begins to build up anywhere oil can go. The oil absorbs tiny debris and contaminants, kind of like a liquid sponge - once it’s at capacity, that oil begins to stick, clog, and build up throughout the engine. Small veins that carry oil to components like actuators, turbos, and bearings will become blocked, starving critical components of oil and causing component or engine failure.

When you think about diesel engines, you probably think about large trucks and machinery, and maybe a few oddball cars over the years.

More specifically, why should you choose a diesel engine for your needs?  Here at Schaeffer Automotive in Huntingburg, IN, we discuss this with customers often based on their unique needs along with the history of the diesel engine.
