oiling diesel injectors should they ever need removal

pondweed · 2nd December 2008, 11:37

I read about this on both forums - and someone advised 3 in 1 oil - a few drops around each injector - to prevent problems in the future. Got around to this today and then realised I didnt know where to put the oil - there are quite a few different cracks and i'm not sure which is the route to the threads which get 'stuck up'.

Any pointers on which joint could do with lube?

The injectors themselves are not threaded, but are a push fit and held in by the clamps, so if you are worried about removal I would suggest just applying a little diesel to the whole area occasionally.
