I think from a mechanical standpoint, not using anything often is bad and can lead to premature issues. Dont use your ac regularly, seals can dry out and lead to early repairs. Let an engine sit too long and cylinders that have valves open (compressed springs) can lead to weaker springs. Same goes for the 4x4 system I believe. Better to exercise it once in awhile than go long periods without use. Just my .02Interesting read on all this. My 22 had a NTSB notice out on their website, about low diff oils from the factory. So I checked mine at roughly 7k miles. Ended up both diffs were very low. I used around 3 quarts between the two, to top them off for the factory recommended fill levels.
So I rarely use 4WD, and accordingly never shift my transfer case. Is that a thing or not?
