Alfa156Melb 9 Report post Posted January 23, 2012 I thought I'd throw this out there even though it's not about an Alfa.. sorry... My Dad has a Pajero that he uses about once a month.. it's only used for towing a trailer or big loads.. which pretty much means it's only driven when I'm visiting as I'm the hired help! When the car is used, its hooked up to a 1 ton trailer (empty) on a cold engine, and the moment he leaves the property, he's on an open road.. 100kph. He lives in the bush. So there's no time for a decent warm up. I'm sure that this can't be good for it in the long run.. Can anyone recommend a good oil for this type of work? Maybe an Ester based oil? anyway... im no expert.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
