    its good to clean out the inside of ur engine once a year.
    get a cleaning additive for diesel. replace air filter and check for
    leaks between air intake and engine where dirty air might get
    in. use oil additive before oil change so more of the dirty oil comes
    out during the change. use a good oil (gtx mag or sim) and change
    ur oil filter too.
    diesels will always have some smoke and u will see it more at night
    when a cars lights are behind u. a dirty engine can mean different
    things so unless its just from the road you need to find the source
    and see if there is a problem.

    its summer so get to work.
