Owned my 08 HSE for 8yrs now and it seems to be wearing very well indeed. 150+ miles. Its on the original exhaust, starter, alternator etc. Engine still seems quiet, no drop off in power or mpg that i can detect. Does not use any oil at all. Yes it's had regular 5w40 synthetic oil. Tranny fine (yes, oil was changed). Interior trim excellent. No sagging seats. Tempting fate here but I'm drawing comparisons with my Lexus ls400 in terms of wearing well. True, it has had a few issues along the way... top hose bleed valve failure, front control arm bushes, a suspension sensor, front wheel bearings, brake lines, rear ac line. I was toying with the idea of getting a late model LR4 as a replacement but based on 5.0 timing chain issues and comments about a bit noisier than 4.4 I'm thinking why bother(?). The slightly more luxurious trim I don't care about.
So, the question, is the 4.4 v8 the best LR motor so far?
