What makes diesel engines work so well and last so long? It’s normal for your car’s gasoline engine to run for around 200,000 miles before it needs a serious overhaul, or you need a new vehicle.

An oil change for a gas powered car or truck will usually run between $20 and $30 depending on where you go.

Diesel oil change cost, on the other hand, is somewhere between $50 and $70.
