I got a new job that's only 9km from my home. Good commute for me but perhaps bad news for my 2015 3.0 D4D SR5. The 'lux barely has time to warm up and I'm there. Combine this with short weekend jaunts down the road to the shops and other brief engine starts and stops during the week, I'm worried that this is not good for my engine not to have a regular decent run. I only did 6000 km in the last 6 months even though I drove it everyday.
I know the older diesels gunged up their oil quickly with repeated short trips. Is it the same with the 3.0 D4D? ..or even worse for this engine with its EGR and turbo? If so, what precautions should I take; e.g. I'm assuming more regular oil changes are needed but how often? Filter too? Anything else? I want this one to last me a long time (I had my last 'lux for 21 years!!) so I'm happy to keep up the maintenance but don't want to go overboard if it ain't necessary.
Cheers!
