Changing the oil on a very regular basis, especially in a Diesel engine, can only be a good thing!

Well, I am not so sure about that!! the Carbon particles which end up in the oil are a very good lubricant!! it is like graphite powder in a lock. oil does age by meaning that the dopes in the oil go off. which can also be caused by sour petrol and not tight old engines/worn piston rings. so for our modern diesels. no need to change the oil that often. it can even be worse for your engine. some 12 years ago I bought a brand new Ford Mondeo diesel and drove 260.000 kms with it during 4to5 years. I can only remember that I topped the engine oil up. If I have done or paid for an oil change it must have been once or twice max. All I did to the car was a new windscreen, two sets of tires and brakes and a ballast/resistor for the ventilation. when I sold the car with a virgin maintenance record book, it still ran like new, very economic and no smoke. So if you want to waste money on unnecessary oil changes, go ahead!! |
