Diesel Service

Diesel engines, named for German engineer and inventor Rudolf Diesel, are often more fuel-efficient and more powerful than their gas-powered counterparts. As such, it’s important to get your vehicle that runs on a diesel engine serviced regularly.

In the Morgan Hill, San Jose, and Gilroy, CA, areas, drivers can rely on the service department team at The Ford Store Morgan Hill.

Caring for Your Diesel Engine

Diesel engines power some of the most important vehicles on the road, like heavy-duty trucks, school buses, and farm equipment.

Diesel is thicker and less refined than gasoline, and it’s more energy dense, so the same volume of diesel packs more of a punch than the same amount of gasoline.

Like gasoline-powered engines, diesel engines are a type of combustion engine, but they ignite the fuel using compressed air, not a spark plug. This reduces the risk of catching fire, since there are no flammable vapors.

Diesel and gasoline engines are very different, so it’s important to trust your diesel service to a team that knows their stuff—a team like ours.

Diesel Services We Offer

Diesel service requires keeping fuel lines clean and clear. One of the best things you can do to keep your diesel-powered vehicle running well is to get oil changes at regular intervals. Engine oil lubricates and cools the fast-moving metal parts of your engine, picking up debris as it does so. Going too long between oil changes increases the risk of engine seizure.

It’s also important to keep up with your engine coolant levels. Like engine oil, engine coolant regulates the temperature of your engine. It often contains a mixture of water and anti-freeze to prevent the engine from overheating or seizing up in the cold. Running low on engine coolant can increase your risk of engine failure.

Another important diesel service item is a brake and brake fluid check. Since diesel-powered vehicles are often very large and powerful, having an effective braking system in place is one of the most important safety measures you can take.

Of course, these are only some of the diesel services we offer. Our Ford-certified technicians are experts in all things diesel, so if there’s something you need that’s not listed here, not to worry! Reach out to our staff about the services you’re interested in, and we can take care of you.

There is no cooling off period unless you obtain a contract cancellation option. California law does not provide for a “cooling off” or other cancellation period for vehicle lease or purchase contracts. Therefore you cannot later cancel such a contract simply because you change your mind, decide the vehicle costs too much, or you wish you had acquired a different vehicle. After you sign a motor vehicle purchase or lease contract it may only be cancelled with the agreement of the seller or lessor or for legal cause such as fraud. However, California law does require a seller to offer a 2-day contract cancellation option on used vehicles with a purchase price of less than $40,000 subject to certain statutory conditions. This contract cancellation option requirement doesn’t apply to the sale of a recreational vehicle, a motorcycle, or an off-highway motor vehicle subject to identification under California Law. See the vehicle contract cancellation option agreement for details.
