Suspension noise (possibly lower control arm)
Small sledge hammer. You don't need a puller for LR4 LCA ball joint. A few hard hits and the joint pops right out. -

Rear Heater Manifold Pipe Replacement Without removing Supercharger - The Beginning
I replaced my front crossover pipes, water pump etc. 16' with 72k. Instead of pulling the SC, I removed the SC snout. Upgraded to a solid Eaton coupler and changed SC oil. Rear pipe was not leaking. I plan on monitoring it. I feel your pain trying to do it with SC installed. Very little... -

LR4 Engine Noise Opinions WANTED!
Sounds normal to me. These are very loud engines. I'm assuming an original supercharger spring isolator? Upgrade to a Eaton solid isolator will help a little. -

has anyone upgraded to this metal tranny pan?
Correct. Filter is integrated into the ZF8 plastic trans pan. -

AJ126 SCv6 Supercharger Oil
3oz sounds about right. Just did front coolant pipes on my 16' LR4. I left S/C installed. Pulled SC snout. Replaced coupler with solid oem Eaton. Syringe removed 2.5 Oz of oil. Refilled with same. Draining the SC upside down prolly gets the Xtra .5 Oz. -

Greasy transmission, should I be worried?
Yep. When I serviced the trans on our 16' model it was the same. Cooler lines were wet. Also the same coming from drivers valve cover or vaccuum pump. Hard to tell from below. Degreased everything. Not a concern until it starts marking its territory. -

Oil extractor
If in doubt buy the larger 80w version of what you posted. Mine does gear oil just fine. You can hear the electric motor working harder and it pumps a tad slower. -

Oil extractor
I use a very similar version of that electric pump. Its an 80s napa version. I use a 3gal pool chemical bucket to pump used oil into. Mine has no problem doing gear oil. -

LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option
I've purchased VW parts from them in the past. Good fast shipping. Does the ZF8HP have an external transmission cooler? I'll find out when I crawl under and look for sure. -

LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option
LR4 just hit 50k. Doing the diffs, tc and trans service. 16' with ZF8HP trans. Here's the best price I could find on ZF pan and fluid. Don't mind the BMW part number. It's the same for the LR4. -

Current Brake Pad and Rotor Recommendations?
42k miles. Wife's 16. Stock front pads around 1/4 left. I replaced rear pads with the Powerstop Z17 Ceramic pads. Rotors were ok and reused. Follow their bead in procedure and all is good. Same breaking ability and far less dust. I run these on my Sierra with same results. 2500 miles on pads... -

Just exceeded warranty, where is everyone buying oil and Filters from to perform fluid change
IIRC, its on the max line. -

bragging !
Same here. Our 16 LR4 has 42k miles. Other than routine maintenance, it's only needed a set of rear brake pads. Knock on wood. -

Just exceeded warranty, where is everyone buying oil and Filters from to perform fluid change
I've always put in 8 qts. It's perfect level on the digital gauge. IIRC, get an 89mm oil filter wrench for the canister cap. It fits with less play than the normal 90. -

Walmart Mobil1 1 0w20EP. ACDelco PF659 oil filter from amazon. Been using this on our 16' since warranty ran out a few years ago.
