Good day everyone! I own a 2010 LR4 for excatly ONE year today! I am happy to report no issues! Seriously none! I have 14k on it and these are my observations in regards to maintenence:
1-They say oil change 15k? Throw that OUT the window! I recommend no later than every 10K. I got mine done at 12K and the oil did not look terribly bad but i would have been comfortable a bit earlier. I also had the 15k maintenence tuneup done at 12K which the dealer tried to talk me out of doing. Yeah right!
2-Obviously do not let a machine wash touch your car. Hand wash EVERYTIME.
3-Watch the gas pedal. This thing DRINKS! Just cost me $70 to fill up in NY. That has been the highest ever for me. I find keeping the digital odometer on "instant fuel avg" to remind me when i am going crazy. I find you can let this behometh of a vehicle coast alot of times when i would have been stepping on the gas and still stay in the 25-35mph range.
4-I live in NY with 5 kids so the winter months with the snow and dirt can be ****** to the carpets and mats. I was pro-active and immediately brought the dealer rubber mats for the front and back and these mats are the REAL DEAL. A bit expensive but they cover ALL of the carpet and when i removed them, the carpet was showroom condition. I learned my last lesson on my last truck. Do not let snow and salt touch your carpet.
That's IT! Wild but no fluid ever got low except for the washing fluid. I simply LOVE the truck!
I am still trying to find the perfect way to keep the leather shining on the interior and i am trying to figure out if the dashboard is really made of leather? I know LR offers a special product to use for the leather but i can not believe that is the only thing to use. I also had a detailor tell me i should have a machine buff my truck but i think that it is way too early for that? I am also tyring to figure out how long these tires are going to last. Thoughts?
