It is believed that a diesel vehicle is much more expensive to maintain, but is there any truth to this? A mechanical service for a diesel vehicle is very similar to that of a gasoline engine, it requires almost the same parts, such as an air filter, oil filter, pollen particle filter, oil, etc. Where we will find the biggest difference in price will be in the special diesel fuel filter, it is more expensive than the gasoline one. On the other hand, the spark plugs in a diesel vehicle are not replaced as often as in a gasoline vehicle, since they work in a different way, there could be some savings there. In short, if the maintenance of a diesel vehicle is more expensive, but by very little, there is not as much difference as many believe. Thanks to Eng.
