Laging sinasabi na "hard and expensive" to maintain a diesel engine, bakit po?

Gaas na pinanghuhugas ko ng kamay kapag mga ganyang klaseng trabaho.

mura imaintain diesel.. 1998 pa pajero ko.. never calibrated pa.. but balak ko na.. may usok na kasi.. but.. ever since.. gastos ko lang is changeoil every 5t kms.. regular oil lang... and vic oil filter po.. a little over 1t lang po every change oil... mas mahal kesa 4 cylinder gasoline cars but sa sobra naman laki natitipid ko sa crudo....

para sa akin, wrong perception yung sinasabing hard n expensive to maintain... madali lang maintain ang diesel engine basta good quality diesel ang ilagay wag yung mga nasaboteng galon na nilalagay karamihan ng mga jeepney. dahil sa calibration kaya nila nasasabing mahal ang maintenance...

dagdag ko lang, eh pano naman yun mga CRDI diesel engines ? ;)

Gosh!!!
I think I need new injectors :D

we got to spend roughly P4.5k every 6 months on our Santa Fe. well under warranty pa sya for 2.5 more years.

but with our strada around P2.5k per 3 months, out of warranty (8 yrs. old)

we dont really spend much on other repairs coz we made it a point before to drive addl. cars alternatively. that's the lesson we learned noon na tig-isa lang kami mag-aama ng tsikot, halos araw-araw nagagamit kaya madali ma-depreciate at may nasisira. my advice, dont sell your old car kagad lalo na if you acquired it brand new. it will really help spur of the moment repairs amounting to 5 digits or more.

hope it's not OT: sir, tuwing kelan ba dapat palinis ng injectors? my ride's a 95 safari. thanks
