Pre Lube?
Hi Rob....thanks for the lengthy and detailed response as to the F 134 longevity. I have heard about the poor longevity of the L head design but did not think that it applied to the F head.....I assumed that the F head was better as it was also being used for civilian use.
There is an oil to paper conversion for the MB/GPW air filter using a Fram/Wix CA3445/42036 cylindrical paper air filter with two plumbing rubber grommets 5 3/8 od x 3 1 /2 id x 1 " thick with no air filter housing alterations....not sure if this works for the CDN2 filter housing.
Along with the very frequent oil replacement I have magnetic oil drain plugs on both axles, trans/transfer and oil pan.
There are many 60 & 80 km/hr lazy farm/country roads (no gravel) outside of Barrie that lead to other cities so I keep speeds to around 30-40 MPH and have only taken her up to 50 MPH once or twice. My biweekly drives are usually 20 to 80 kms in length. I also clean the air filter housing once a year (average 1200-1400 miles) and replace the cup oil as well.
Thanks a bunch for the info,
lesk
