I keep hearing the diesel motors cost quite a bit more for an oil change because of the large volume of oil they use. I am looking to buy a Chevy 2500HD diesel, right now I have a ford ranger that costs only about $50 for an oil change at jiffy lube, how much will the diesel cost? Doesn't need to be exact just a ballpark estimate please.What is the cost difference for an oil change for a diesel and a gas motor?don't go to a jiffy lube to get the oil changed in a diesel. change it yourself or have a buddy change it. jiffy lube doesn't stock rotella which is the only oil that should be used in a diesel. I'll get ridiculed by mobile fans but rotella is what should be ran. you can get a 55 gallon bucket at TSC for $55 or so and that's what should be run. I don't recommend jiffy lube anyway. those idiots don't know what the hell they're doing. they don't drain the oil all the way, 1/2 the time they don't change the filter, they're just worthless change it yourself or take it to an indpendant shop. they'll do it right. It may cost more but they'll put rotella in it if you request it. rotella t is expensive but there's nothing better than it.What is the cost difference for an oil change for a diesel and a gas motor?it's probably going to be at most only a few $ extra.

The oil filter is no harder to get to or to change though it is significantly larger.What is the cost difference for an oil change for a diesel and a gas motor?I worked at a shop in Utah until about a month ago.
