Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I schedule maintenance for my diesel vehicle?
Follow your manufacturer’s recommended intervals, but remember that local driving, weather, and use in Tulsa may affect timing. Many diesel vehicles benefit from more frequent oil and filter changes if used for towing, hauling, or daily stop-and-go traffic.
What types of diesel vehicles do you work on?
We service most diesel-powered passenger cars, pickups, and light-duty trucks found in Tulsa. If you drive a specific make or model, call our shop to discuss the services that may apply.
Are there special emissions requirements for diesel vehicles in Tulsa?
Oklahoma does not currently require statewide emissions testing for passenger diesels, but maintaining emissions systems helps protect the engine and environment. We inspect emissions-related parts as part of every thorough diesel service.
Why is changing the fuel filter so important on a diesel?
Diesel fuel injectors are built to extremely tight tolerances and are very sensitive to debris and water. Regularly replacing your fuel filter is the most important step to protect your expensive injection system from contamination and damage.
What does it mean if my "Glow Plug" light is on?
This light typically comes on for a few seconds when you start your engine in cold weather, indicating the glow plugs are warming the engine. If the light stays on, flashes, or your engine is very hard to start, it means one or more glow plugs may be failing.
