Intro and oil type/interval/filter questions
Ck out FCP euro, lifetime warranty. After the first oil change, all others only cost you shipping. I use the package and bottles that come with each new oil change to package up my old oil and return. Cost me $18 for my oil changes. -

The Quest for A Durable Front Crossover Pipe
FWIW, the new design that I am installing on my 2015 LR4 (80k)looks much stronger, and appears to be almost twice as thick in some areas. My old pipe was totally fine as well, but one of the pipes that goes into the block did break off BELOW the oring when I removed. The other side was fine. So... -

2016 LR4 Coolant Crossover, Water Pump, Thermostat Replacement
BTW, using a syringe, and afterwards tilting the SC up on its end, I can only get about 2 oz of oil out, is this normal? -

2016 LR4 Coolant Crossover, Water Pump, Thermostat Replacement
Did you figure out where the two longer machine T30 screws go? These are the 25mm T30, the shorter ones are 20mm. I am guessing they go in the front cross pipe that attaches to the block. UPDATE: Based on the two T30’s that hold the upper pipe to the snout are much longer, I am using the two... -

2016 LR4 Coolant Crossover, Water Pump, Thermostat Replacement
Regarding the small pipe that goes between the oil cooler and waterpump. There is a flange mid way, does that need to be oriented in a way that it’s against the block or does matter. I did not pay attention before I removed, but I am guessing the thick side of the flange fits against the block? -

Was the LR coolant that you purchased orange or pink? -

Thanks. Another question, can't really tell if the coolant was originally Pink or Orange (Dex), as it's been diluted to 50/50, and it's 6 years old. What did you guys go back with? -

2016 LR4 Coolant Crossover, Water Pump, Thermostat Replacement
What sealant did you use, I thinking about Loctite 518 or similar due to it being machine surfaces mating. Looks like some are using anaerobic like 518. -

Just received my notice to put my deposit down on a Grenadier
Regardless, I’m glad to see them using the BMW 6. Definitely considering one down the road, as my wife’s 2015 LR4 will be our last newer LR. Hate the new body styles. -

Just received my notice to put my deposit down on a Grenadier
Unlike JLR, looks like they are putting a decent engine in it as well. Hard to beat a BMW straight 6. -

2016 LR4 Coolant Crossover, Water Pump, Thermostat Replacement
I am guessing No, but just wanted to ck, are you guys using any sealant on the following: WP, Intake, IC to SC? I usually install metal gaskets dry. The only place that I see using sealant is the Snout to SC. -

Cracked fan shroud? Engine jumped off mount?!
The fan is so easy to remove once the top piece is off, I’d just remove the fan so you don’t risk damaging/bending radiator cooling fins trying to wiggle the shroud out. Left hand threaded.Takes maybe 2min to remove. -

What year and how many miles? To answer your question, I'd only drain enough to complete the repair, and save it so you know how much goes back in. -

2016 LR4 Coolant Crossover, Water Pump, Thermostat Replacement
SO I was just looking at the new front pipes, specifically the lower "Y" pipe, and upper pipe, and both appear MUCH thicker then the old pipe, as well as the internal coolant flow area being smaller, due to thicker walls, just in comparison with sticking my fingers in and feeling. I can't fit my... -

Rewiring accessories to use the 2nd battery?
That might actually be an option, nice engine, and classy "boxed" design, like LR should of kept doing. -

2016 LR4 Coolant Crossover, Water Pump, Thermostat Replacement
Update for the weekend. I worked on the truck a few hours Sat/Sun/Mon, going slow and taking my time and got the following accomplished: 1) All Coolant hoses removed. 2) Belts removed: I have tensioners for both belts with a 3/8 hole to insert a ratchet extension. I was thinking I would have to...
