Oils tend to absorb moisture which it can react with and change some properties of oil like viscosity or even make it acidic that can affect metals.
It is better to replace regularly. It does not cost much if you love your car.
If Oil properties are know, a regular Oil analysis can reveal if you really need to replace Oil.
A Good drive. Had everything in it. Dedication of the Marshal, Team Spirit and togetherness.
Gaurav, Hats Off to you. Inspite of family commitments you were there till the End.
See you again soon.
See you again Hossein. Same Same Car... 😉
I googled a lot. Then on one Australian forum I found the same problem that I faced. To diagnose the MAF sensor it was suggested to disconnect the connector connected to it. I did the same, the car started normally, but with a high idle at 1200 rpm and was not stopping when I let go the throttle. In order to be sure, drove to a used car parts shop and checked by swapping with another MAF sensor. Started and found all OK. Reset the CEL by disconnecting the battery. Drove about 300km, so far it's running OK.
Hi, Today while driving, the Pajero Engine suddenly stalled. Re-started with a rough idle and black smoke out of exhaust. Engine was stopping as soon as I put in gear.
Drove normally on the E311, have ASC, Traction control and Catcon light ON. Mileage has dropped, but no loss of power.
No black smoke now. Engine rpm too low in idle making it stop at Signals.
Any suggestions before taking it to a garage tomorrow.
Thanks!
Hi! Wilfred here. Very new to desert driving. Done a few drives with another group with my Pajero 3.8. Getting to know the car and getting better with each desert drive.
Look forward to a driving with you all.
Cheers!!
