If I want to learn more about basic maintenance for cars is diesel a good start? My car doesn't use it, but it's the only class that's offered in my area.

It's also the requirement for the more advance classes.

If you just want to learn basic maintenance then youtube has more than enough information. You'd be surprised how much you learn just by tinkering with you engine.

This. Deisle is a cock but there is money to be made. My buddy makes more on 5 hour days in his garage than i do with overtime.

Protip.

Hotrodders and race car drivers will learn u more than any memeschool.

This guys got it. You dont need a class for basic maintenance. Just research, watch some youtube videos, and when its time for some maintenance on your car, if you think you can handle it, do it yourself. A service manual isnt necessary for most simple stuff, but is a good investment if you want to do more or if you dont have a good owners manual.

If you want to go more in depth, you could buy some cheap shitbox off craigslist or whatever and wrench on that. Diesels arent too awful different when it comes to most real basic maintenance stuff, but once you get a little more into it, they are pretty damn different.

i personally don't see why not, but it might not be the most useful if you already know the, basics on an engine, and have picked up a wrench before.

google/youtube and a good service manual will teach you plenty more useful info. best way to learn general maintenance is to do your own.

Mechanics are expected to be able to work on both Gasoline and Diesel engines everywhere except America.
Americans make Diesel seem like its some unexplored territory.

In reality, there is not much difference.
If you can work on one, you should be able to work in the other.
