Hi Gents.
My Jeep is maybe only being used once a week now due to Covid lockdown.
I have a smart charger so i have the battery maintenance side of things covered.
My question is, do i need to start the engine every few days to keep internal components covered in an oil film? Does oil cling to these parts making a start up unnecessary? Does the actual start up cause more wear than just leaving it be and only starting it when i need to?
Engine is a Diesel OM642, no DPF.
Any thoughts welcome please.
