17 Quality and quantity please!
I like getting my hands dirty with regular servicing of simple things that aren’t beyond the reach of an average home mechanic. With a reasonable tool kit it’s easy to change the oil, coolant, other fluids, air filter and brake pads. But oil is one of my must-do’s and regularly. Whilst modern diesel service intervals have been pushed out to 20,000kms on some vehicles since the advent of common-rail high-pressure fuel injection, an interim oil change is cheap insurance when your 4WD is used in a hostile environment. Give a turbo-diesel clean air, clean fuel and clean oil and it’ll last forever! Make sure your replacement oil is of the right viscosity and quantity. Over-filling a crankcase can have catastrophic results!!!
