    EGR system removal

I not removing three...

    Engine oil analysis results

    My experience of sos. Scheduled oil sampling is, that it has to run over some decent period to establish useful info ideally from new. A random test establishes little useful info. Unless it find significant copper, iron. In many ways and how I do it. I interview my oil filters, I cut them...

    At those miles Yr likely p into wind, u cud try diverting breather into a plastic bottle, seal the pipe in the mouth of bottle, and cut a small hole in the side at top.

    Oil in intercooler pipe.

    Some misting on interior of pipe is normal, pool of oil in pipe is not, take off clean. Put back, look again in a few days. If pool of oil in pipe you likely have a leaking seal on turbo. Also check where any breather pipe re enters the induction system

    Not really that's how I do it. Worked for me for 40 yr. As I have said before it's the cheapest, simplest maintainance one can do.

    Engine oil analysis results

    I believe, if u use the std reccomended oil and dump it every 5k ur motor will likely run forever. I use the old oul60/40 with white spirit on my external wood. Never needed to replace any wood.

    Dpf

    The whole point is.. Unless Yr motorway driving and even then dropping s gear a regen may not happen as below 2000rpm and maybe less than half tank. And no on screen info on how to do it.

    I wonder if it's just me? I think the mb dpf regen system is crap,, over 2000 rpm,esp. Most will know that even at legal cruise on a run will often be under 2000 rpm, mine normal regents around 360 miles, right now its 450 miles since last, its a deliberate effort to keep going for 20km above...
