New Cruze Diesel owner

Got a used 2014 Cruze Diesel. I would have liked to buy a new one but, none were available. (talk about under production) Bought it because I think its a cool car. I like the mild Diesel noise letting people know its a diesel. So far I have filled up with a blend of b100 and diesel, about B18.

Welcome aboard. First thing you need to do is tell us about you car ( color, mileage, options etc.) and then get a Scan Gauge 2 ;)

Welcome to the forum! I agree with GlennGlenn.
Welcome to Cruzetalk and congrats.
Scan guage 2... Hmm looks useful. I have a feeling this is a high Maintanace car. Bought it with a check engine light on at 21000 miles.

You shouldn't have to do anything more than regular diesel maintenance. Change the oil, add DEF, and follow the recommended maintenance in the owners manual. The Scan Gauge II just helps you keep an eye on the car's regeneration cycle. The diesel particulate filter cleans itself every now and then, and it's a good idea not to interrupt it if possible. But unfortunately the SGII is about the only way to tell when it's doing it.

As far as the check engine light goes, you should have the dealer pull the codes and do any repairs necessary while it's under warranty.
Hello and welcome to the club! Congrats on your Cruze, you won't be disappointed with it. Post few pictures when you can. You'll find some interesting info on this forum. If you haven't found what you're looking for, feel free to post a question. If you have knowledge that someone else is looking for, feel free to share!

I should. But being this is my only car I'm dreading bringing the car in and it sitting there for days.
