Alot of mining is on hours or calendar with hours monitoring, but when looking at component life we are looki g at fuel burn and algorithms data on fuel burn vs load, plus oil sample history.
You dont want to throw a leg out of bed on a 78 litre v18 engine...expensive.

Close to 20k mile services.. f that my friend...it will be fuel burn calc.
With no sampling i wouldnt exceed 10k kms...even when they recommend 15k, so many new donks blow up...and timing chain is the achillies heel of many engines.. which you are chasing lubricity on a different level to engine.

The service book says 18,000 miles, looks like i will get another 1000 miles out of it, previous car was similar and went to 85,000 without issue before being traded in.

Serviced to manufacturer's recommendations and keeps warranty intact... so what is the problem?
Transits with same engine go for 25,000 or 30,000 and will end up with very high miles, so cannot be much of an issue.

Not new, but new to me. Hopefully an improvement on the old Vario.

Don’t take any notice at all. I have a neighbour who ran a freelander 2 and never did service it
he’s only recently let it go due to corrosion. There’s a happy medium to be had. I wait for the light to come on and then just do it as like you say; manufacturer ought to know best. Maybe 50 years ago when oils were pretty poor it would have been a different story.

Not that easy to show in a picture but a complete refit and extension of a 20 year old chicken shed. Hens seem happy with it, shame to have coated it all with mite powder to take the shine off!

Have imported the header ? not be easy to find them second hand
Looks to be some big improvements in the 20 yr old chicken house,
I see you have not payed for all of it yet,
Because some of the hens are on higher perches

It was a lucky conversation.
I had a demo a couple of years ago and was impressed. My cousin runs 2.

Exactly, that's why they put that little light on there isn't it?

How long do you think the mite powder will last in a multi tier system? We need to try and do something different at turnaround this time relying on exzolt is no good
