Pajero Owners Club of South Africa

It's that time of the year again. I compiled a spreadsheet from my SARS logbook, listing all costs concerning my Pajero diesel for the financial year 2015/2016 and is as follows:

Average running cost per km: R2.00 (previous R2.28)

- Total km traveled: 65,154 (previous 56,265km)

- Total diesel used (L): 7,394 (previous 6,249.73)

- Total diesel used (R): R91,234.79 (previous R85,173.20)

- Average diesel cost (R/L): R12.31 (previous R13.63)

- Average consumption (km/L): 8.81 (previous 9.06)

- Total oil: R4,494.45 (previous R3,529.70)

- Total parts: R12,619.91 (previous R25,062.48)
*see spreadsheet for list of parts used/bought

- Total service cost: R10.468.39 (previous R4,628.58)
*see spreadsheet for list of services & details

- Total tracking fees: R2,022.48 (previous R1,964.70)

- Total insurance: R9,424.68 (previous R7,875.88)

PS:

- I only run Delo 400 oil
- Only try to use SASOL diesel ( ABSA Rewards program).
- Current km reading on the clock is 467,357km.
- Engine, turbo, gearbox and all other closed mechanical thingy-majiggies are still original and unopened.

Thanks for sharing - looks good.

Well maintained is better than low mileage.

Excellent!

Wish I could get that consumption! Do you use her for heavy towing?

Sjoe!!

That is excellent figures and great longevity.

Congrats

No, I very very seldom tow anything. I normally drive 75km to work, open hilly road. Sometime I drive a lot further.

Thanks CATS!

I told Mark when his (old) Pajero reached 400k in your hands. I wonder what he will think if he were to ever see this post.
Amazing what regular clean, good quality oil and filters can do for a solidly designed and built engine.
Well done John.

Thanks Roelf. I reckon he is still kicking himself

But wait - what is that I see in your profile pic, did the prodigal son return? Or is it mere for memory's sake?

Naa..
Prodigal son went on forever-walkabout. It is just my way of continually reminding myself of one idiotic moment
