Strange one this....

We have a 2.8 Diesel Mitsubishi, with the 3 speed auto, along with O/D. We ALWAYS use O/D in the city, always. Cuts in at 45 kmh, sort of like a 4 speed auto really. The handbook says nothing about not doing it.

Our Volvo was the same, we always simply left it on, and it would kick in when needed.

Agreed on the towing thing, but I don't know what damage or impairment could arise from city use.

Anyway, that is what we have, and still do, and by no means, is it to be construed as the correct, or incorrect method, it's just what we do.

I guess if you shouldn't be using it, then the manufacturer would have made it cut in at say.... 70 - 75 kmh? FIIK....

My 3.0 auto Patrol handbook reccommends leaving OD turned on for normal driving. I've never had a problem doing so.
