Hello all,
My 2012 LR4 is the best truck I have owned (5 before the LR), but the costs do scare me a bit. I see quite a lot of comments admonishing those the buy an LR and then complain about costs, but as an ex pat Brit, have always thought of LR's as a combination of luxury and utility... wasn't quite prepared for the level of financial absurdity!
Am I entirely alone?
Maybe I won't want to hear it, but at least I'll know!
Luckily I'm an avid DIYer, and quite prepared to do oil and filters. So given the silly and obviously exclusionary oil spec, and to preserve the warrantee, off I trot to the dealer... fully understanding I'm going to get fleeced.... but $150 just to supply the oil!!! Really? Is that right or even vaguely sensible?
Is there any other oil spec that is understood to meet the LR4 5.0 requirements?
What are other people doing?
THANKS,
