no one ever changes oil in a diesel in those conditions.
a belt - maybe, if it breaks.
otherwise one just does not shut down the engine, auxillary heaters or not.
- bserge 6y agoDo they even use belts? I imagine it's all internally chained, that way a diesel engine can last well over 100k miles... With oil change or at least top up, however. Mechanical pump/injectors don't even need electricity, just have fuel.
- izacus 6y agoThe documentary says that original expedition swapped a whole 600kg gearbox on a Kharkovchanka when one of them failed. Crew worked for 5 days at less than -50C. So they ceranly did change much more than just belts :)
