- Regular oil and filter changes using manufacturer-recommended products to prevent premature wear

Prevention:
- Adhere strictly to the recommended maintenance schedule, including timely oil and filter changes
- Use high-quality diesel fuel to reduce injector and DPF contamination
- Avoid frequent short trips that prevent the DPF from reaching regeneration temperature
- Regularly drive the vehicle at highway speeds to allow proper DPF regeneration
- Monitor dashboard warning lights promptly and address issues early to prevent further damage
- Ensure software updates are applied during servicing to maintain engine efficiency and reliability
