What oil are you using?
or you could concoct your own version of this: . or just watch a few of these... and decide what you like. -
What oil are you using?
Yeah for me I take it to my Indy for everything. I have done it in the past when I lived in Colorado far from a decent Indy, but no longer. I drive to the shop, he drives me home, then comes back in an hour or so to pick me up. Total time before getting my car back is about two hours. I bet you... -
What oil are you using?
I would bet it’s mostly just the additive pack. Probably higher buffer. The TBN breaks down in cheaper oils faster. The skeptic conspiracy theorist in me sees it as a kickback arrangement between the MFG and the Oil Company to drive service business. But I see the shit materials in the... -
What oil are you using?
Yeah not directed at you. There’s a lot of back and forth wasted on this issue in the world generally. I view oil changes as a waste of time. And since time is money a waste of money too. If you make real money (as I would imagine most Land Rover owners do) think about 3 oil changes a year at... -

2013 LR4 - Transmission Sonnax Zip Kit Completed - The Results
There are a ton of tiny parts. I bought everything and turned it over to my Indy. I forgot to order the new separator plate and had to go get one while it was disassembled. Definitely mid level to advanced job just based on the number of pieces and the stakes. You are supposed to use a new... -
What oil are you using?
Not sure what the mystery is here. Buy the oil you think is best. Then run it to your comfort interval. Then send the oil in the black stone labs and see if you can run it longer. Repeat at longer intervals until you start to see degradation in the results. Black stone suggests interval... -
As Predicted. (Defender news)
I think one reason is that they include the rear mount spare in the dimensions. So it is longer than the lr4 but nothing usable in that increase in length. -
Defender 130 an LR4 replacement?
The new defender 110 is tremendous off-road. Probably top two including wrangler off the lot. It’s just about 10% smaller cargo use than the lr4. With a family and a huge dog I need a little more than the lr4 with as much capability as is possible for such a large vehicle. There’s nothing close... -
Defender 130 an LR4 replacement?
https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a35755161/land-rover-defender-130-confirmed/ hmmm. I could be tempted by that -
Hd package / rear locker how to tell?
Yes I saw that video (it’s cool) but the question is when browsing used vehicles is there an easy way to tell that the car has the HD package? Does terrain response look different in the dash? Or do I have to get the original sticker and see what it was ordered with and communicate with...- Fuji4

Hd package / rear locker how to tell?
Not saying that I am getting out of my lr4, but supposing I was browsing discovery 5s, is there any way to tell if a HSE Lux has the rear locker from the center console? If i see the terrain response rock crawl mode or something? I made sure to order the HD package on my lr4, but in browsing...- Fuji4

Has anyone reflashed their 3.0SC V6 aka Tune?
I think it will be totally fine. Big caveat-if you do the required proactive maintenance across the board that this truck needs. The eaton can handle the rpm increase. I talked to Eaton’s official rebuilder (superchargersonline) about all this. They say that it’s a reliable unit. But...the... -
93K miles update - poly bushings, Trans Pan Bracket, another exhaust leak etc.
Quite possible. My Indy said he’s never seen them do that on other autos. Another quirk we get to enjoy! -
93K miles update - poly bushings, Trans Pan Bracket, another exhaust leak etc.
Just wanted to throw out there what i had done at 93k miles. Trans pan bracket - i thought the noise i was hearing (metal vibration) might be that, took a chance, and IT WAS! bracket had a hairline crack as per the TSB. Thought i might need to do some bushings AGAIN...( first set at 45k)... -
Los Angeles Mechanic/Shop Recommendation?
I use Jomag auto in silverlake. https://yelp.to/od5iSFmJUdb Been with Mauricio and his lead mechanic Ronny for 15 years. They did the sonnax zip kit and my supercharger snout and all semi major repairs and all regular oil changes and wear items. They let me buy and bring all my own parts and my... -
DIY Oil Change for LR4
Also amsoil is only 9.5$/quart if you sign up for the preferred customer program. Which is $25/ year. If you have more than one car that makes sense. In any case I live in LA and change at 15kish miles with lots of city driving and some towing. For me the extra $24 per year over any other oil... -

Cruise control unavailable?
Thanks. I’ll dig into these. I did look at the brake lights. They work, at least from a cursory inspection. By that I mean that they light up when stopped. If there is n intermittent connection issue I don’t know. Can’t see them when driving. -
Cruise control unavailable?
Hate to revisit this thread but my cruise is acting up again. I got a new battery and then it was fine. But I rarely use it. And then it wasn’t fine again. Charged the battery to full (thanks crappy BMS) and tried to no avail. Then it started working again intermittently. It seems totally... -
What oil are you using?
Amsoil signature series. 15k mile intervals. Tested at black stone labs. Plenty of life left in it. -
Gas smell after driving. No error codes. No visible leaks.
Pretty sure that’s it. Google it and find the cheapest one. Fcp has one for way less than dealer -
Transmission issue when cold?
FYI after changing fluid and doing a zip kit at around 65k miles I did not do any resetting of adaptions of special driving protocol. All went well.
