Low use / Storage ??'s
Low use / Storage ??'s
So, with fuel prices on the rise, and having a 3rd vehicle that gets 38mpg around town (hey, at least it's a diesel!), I'm not driving the truck as much.
I am planning the following:
Oil changes every 6mo-1yr. Would like to keep 7500 mile interval
Drive it at least 20 miles per week, to keep fluids and seals lubricated and flexible. It will get a good 200 mile trip about every other week.
Stanadyne in the fuel tank, normal concentration (~300ml/tank)
Any thing else?
TIA
Tony

Sounds good to me. Running 20 miles a week is better than I am able to do being gone so much for my job. i would also make sure you exercise the 4x4 every once in a while... and with as low as your miles are going to be, I may stick more with the 6 month oil change plan than the 7500 miles esp if you are running dino oil. (500 miles a month will only give you 3K in 6 months).
