The drivers often complain about diesel engines lasting significantly longer than petrol engines and whether the low purchase price is justifiable. Experts from the automotive industry point out that under the conditions of transportation, diesel engines have a much longer life. The main reasons for this lie in the semi-synthetic composition of the fuel and the robust construction of these engines.
Diesel fuel is saved for the inside of the engine, and it has a pronounced lubricating effect on its own system. On the other hand, petrol lubricates more as a solvent and literally washes away the protective coatings of the engine oil from the cylinder heads. Due to this, petrol engines have much more metal-to-metal friction, which leads to a premature wear of the moving parts.
