4WD Servicing
These vehicles are generally higher maintenance, however, some items
listed in maintenance schedules for replacement may be due to
assumptions that the vehicle is being operated in conditions like river
crossings, or high dust environments, causing driveline contamination,
or more frequent requirements of replacing air cleaner elements, these
areas need to be assessed along with the particular conditions the
vehicle has been operating under.
Diesel engines although economical in
operation for fuel savings if used for primarily city driving or short
distances will see oil contamination at a much increased rate to its
petrol equivalent, and as such without more frequent oil changes will
see premature engine, turbo, and injector pump failure, all very
expensive operations.
Most city diesel vehicles will require an oil
change period of around 3 months or 5,000 km and with the higher cost of
lubricating oils for diesels and the larger sump capacities this will
add greatly to the overall maintenance of your diesel vehicle.
