    Thoughts on switching from 5w20 to 5w40 as miles approach 200K?

    Agreed. I change mine at 5000km intervals. Cheers!

    Thoughts on switching from 5w20 to 5w40 as miles approach 200K?

    I was thinking about this situation that many think a thicker oil would be better, as I was looking at the 5w-20 option from Castrol for high mileage vehicles. It has me thinking (a dangerous and rare thing). As some claim that the only reason manufacturers have gone to thinner oils is for...

    Precisely how my dealer treats me. Good Job!

    But… how many miles on those cats? All filters eventually clog.

    Thoughts on switching from 5w20 to 5w40 as miles approach 200K?

    For your entertainment… especially the part where 0w-16 showed less wear than 0w-30. Go figure…

    Good buyers guide overview

    hmmm, I find the responses interesting. Sure, I did purchase a high mileage one. I did what was necessary to safety it. I did replace the generator. And as I always do, I replaced all fluids and filters and the batteries and pcv valves. Yes, I have the leak but the windscreen was replaced...

    Maf Sensors...

    P0101-00 is Sensor A. Are you certain it is securely attached and clean. Also, what did you replace the air filters with? And, are they matched?

    Yay! Another reason to justify the large stable of vehicles.

    Thoughts on switching from 5w20 to 5w40 as miles approach 200K?

    Switching to a w40... no. w30... 'maybe' in a diesel. But that engine... I'm not doing it. I still run 10w30 in a 1985 volvo marine diesel with LOTS of hours. And she purrs. I used w40 once and she ran a little off/rough. I changed it back after only a few running hours.

    High Pressure Fuel Pump Question

    LOL, I like my noisy HPFP solution. It makes the tapping sound of a diesel. :) I'm afraid if I change it, I'll lose the distinctive noise. ;-) @Pfunk951 , that would be awesome. BTW, No, the chains and glides are fine.

    Serpentine/Accessory belt failure on a very wet, dark MI road in the middle of nowhere...

    … fwiw, in Canada, if the job is completed at the dealer, there is a 1 year parts and labour warranty. The OEM part lasted this long…. I’m surprised there wasn’t some telltale sign/noise before the demise. Incidentally, I have been successful in bartering at the dealer… Cheers!

    Transmission taking too long to shift

    As I responded earlier, I just use S on the selector. There is no need to select the dynamic terrain response system.

    Serpentine/Accessory belt failure on a very wet, dark MI road in the middle of nowhere...

    :-). handheld, 2 channel, transmitting radios like the Baofeng uhf/vhf w/ gps (8 W) are so affordable … with an optional long distance antennae.

    Control Arms

    But, the housing for “some” of the bushings in the arms are rather “light” and can be “mangled” if the bush isn’t switched appropriately… which is why LR and others provide the bush attached to the arm. @BigBriDogGuy , perhaps just live with what you have until it is “swap it out” time. It is...

    Serpentine/Accessory belt failure on a very wet, dark MI road in the middle of nowhere...

    @Longtrail , Many here would disagree…. but I don’t pre-emptively replace any “component” of the vehicle unless it is explicitly called out in the maintenance schedule or, there has been reduced effectiveness… Unless, you just want to overhaul the whole engine anyways. For example, the water...

    2012 LR4 Electrical power loss

    Jeepers, thats a problem. By looking at the electrical diagram, can you nail this down to one fuse box? if not, one mega fuse? If not, one battery lead or grounding point? Specifically, which systems are affected?

    Yes… in 2015, when the vehicle was on warranty…. Which it isn’t now.

    2016 LR4 3.0L engine vs v8

    and there is the age question. In fact, I too had this same debate. The outcome surprises me. Truly, the v6 has not disappointed me yet. And I don’t have to deal with the aging v8 maintenance issues, This is not to say I wouldn’t want the v8, but that this vehicle works without it .

    2010 LR4 coolant level low issue

    Ok…. Fyi and as per the suggested maintenance schedule I flush brake fluid, coolant, and power steering fluid. I have not changed my water pump, or oil cooler and the thermostat only once. Good call on the PCV valve, @ttforcefed .

    2010 LR4 coolant level low issue

    I have not touched the heater hoses, the water pump nor the thermostat. Also, I have not touched the oil cooler tube. Cheers
