I'm more comfortable asking stupid questions on this forum ......
I'm currently travelling through dusty/sandy environment in Morocco. I have a snorkel and should probably put a sock over its mouth but suspect it wont stop much dust. If I went for finer mesh (face mask) would that restrict air flow? 2nd defence is the air filter which is looking fairly dusty and am going to clean with compressed air and change if I can buy a spare. I currently change the engine oil ever 5000km. Effectively after each trip of about 5000 to 6000km
In my current desert environment is it worth doing an additional oil change although probably wont know what oil is being used.
Any other tips would be welcome.
Ps I'm in the Toyota and trying to protect its 20 year old engine with 325 000km on the clock.
Thanks Jonathan
