i have few simple tips, 1. add 2t oil to your gas/diesel, 2. use 10w60 racing oil for summer and 10w40 for winter, (reduces oil consumption and blowby, ingrease power and better effy at high loads) 3. change oil after every 5k/km or 6 months, 4. change your engine air filter always after 6 months or 5k/km if you have turbo engine, 5. let the turbo cool down after every trip for minimum 30sec, 6. if your engine has over 50k km on it, then flush it with thin oil. flush steps: 1 warm the engine, 2 let the old oil out and remove old filter, 3 put on new filter and add thin oil, like 0w20-5w30. then take it to short trip like 5 km push it for short, and then change the oil again. flush oil will be very dark, after that your oil will remain clean for long time, even in diesel.
