Diesel Trucks Need Love, Too

(NC)-The North American light truck market is overwhelmingly powered by gasoline engines, so it's small wonder that most products available to maintain or enhance performance for light trucks are aimed at the gas truck market.

But as many diesel engines can go 500,000 kms1 before requiring a major overhaul, diesel maintenance is an absolute must to maintain performance over the long haul. Because of this and the typically higher upfront cost of diesel engines, diesel owners should be more attuned to good maintenance habits.

One simple way to do this is to use oil and air filters designed specifically for Light Trucks powered by Diesel engines. Fram markets oil filters and air filters that are both designed specifically for these applications.

For engine longevity and protection, many Light Truck Diesel owners use synthetic engine oil for the extra protection it provides. In response to the growth of the synthetic oil market, Fram offers a Synthetic Oil treatment and Stabilizer.

This treatment, also available for conventional motor oils, enhances the lubricating and cleaning qualities of the existing engine oil. Treating your oil also combats rust, corrosion and conditions the engine seals to reduce leaks.

Even with today's sophisticated fuel filtration systems, deposits can restrict the free flow of fuel out of the injector nozzle. So another way to help maintain light duty diesels is to use Prestone Diesel Fuel Treatment.

This product improves power and acceleration by keeping injectors free of deposit buildup. The additive is concentrated enough that one 473 mL bottle treats up to 132 liters of fuel.
