Oil Change
Just ran a quick check and see where most dealers are purchasing SLX 5w20 in 55 gallon drums. There are only a few in the system... but I see where larger markets Dealers do buy in bulk. Funny thing is that i see more Ford dealers purchasing SLX in Bulk than LR and Jag combined due to the Ford... -

Nitrous fill tires
Yes, I believe Nitrogen is a scam. Made the mistake of doing that once, and every time my wife took our car in for an oil change - the shop (no matter WHERE she took it) would top off the tires with Nitrogen and charge us extra for that everytime. I believe they see the green valve caps and... -

Great idea. I wish I had thought of that ahead of time. You did really well! -

Oil Change
You guys believe what you want to. Next time you are at your LR dealership ask them what distributor services their bulk oil tanks and what oil they put into those tanks. Seems like no one accepts the truth anymore. I only sell thousands of gallons of Castrol a year to Jaguar and LR each year... -

Oil Change
No, it's not. I work for Shell Oil and we have a national contract with Jag and LR to deliver bulk Castrol to ALL NA dealerships. This has been in place since the "Ford" days and continues with TATA ownership. murphy -

Questionnaire and my LR4 Gas Mileage Theory
I think it's because there's "more" ethanol in the gas during the winter? Or do I have that backwards? -

Questionnaire and my LR4 Gas Mileage Theory
I'm calculating this by filling up the tank and dividing the gallons by the miles driven. I never look at the computer. But guys... understand... I live in a small town of 5,000 people. The Main highway I-26 is 2 miles from my home. "Most" of our driving is School,Grocery,Church (locally and all... -

FYI - LR USA has a national contract with Castrol for delivering bulk oil to the dealerships. It's really not too "special" - but I do believe it is synthetic. -

Questionnaire and my LR4 Gas Mileage Theory
Okay.. hate me. After 1,000 miles of breaking in I'm getting just shy of 20 miles per gallon (19.4) in my new LR4. But talking with other LR4 owners at a recent Off-Road event (see my post about that for pics about which you can reference) - I have come up with a Theory. I'm deriving my... -

Took my brand new LR4 serious Off-Roading. PICS!
Last Sunday a week ago, I accepted the invitation from my LR dealer to attend their twice a year Customer Appreciation event. Off-Roading. With less than 700 miles on the odometer and the STOCK Conti tires I set off. I figured - what the heck. Let's go see if everything works... and if I... -

Help a newbie...
Just called my LR dealership after reading this. Turns out the hooks come with the mats you purchased. But mine were not installed either. The dealer simply chucked the mats onto the floor. I just called and they said they don't install the hooks because "most people" don't like them perforating...
