preventative maintenance??
I have a 2015MY V70 D5 manual. In normal driving it rarely exceeds 2000RPM, due to torque and 2k equals almost 80mph in 6th. In 18 months it has run 15000 mile and according to the computer returned an Ave of 46.8mpg.
I read with concern about the black crud that accumulates within the engine, which I think would be more likely given the "low reving " life my engine has. It would be easy to sit at say 4000RPM for say n miles ( n being anything from 5-50 miles say) if it was thought that this would be benifitial in keeping the internals clean. I try not to use "supermarket fuel" usually its Esso or Shell, occasionally JET. any comments?? As a separate items, I have never noticed a DPF regen cycle. Anyone know how long they last for, and can they be triggered by a driving style. Cheers Bob |
