My rover is about to hit 100k. What should I do to keep her running? Also does anyone recommend a seafoam treatment?

 

BG44k treatment.

I have used seafoam added to fuel every few tanks or months, when I remember.

 

sea foam and 60 k mile service

 

Ive never used the BG44k. Is it similar to sea foam?

 

Here is the factory shop manual 13 page maintenance list, lots of things you may not have thought of, like filter for air suspension.

But also use some common sense. The spec is 10 years or 150,000 miles on tranny fluid. That helps only the tranny shops. 3 years and 36,000 is a better practice.

The spec for coolant is 30,000 or 24 months in a D2, and it probably had Dexcool to start with. How in the world can the spec now be 10 years or 150,000 miles and make sense? Advances in radiator water chemistry have not made such a giant leap in one model change.

My point is that more frequent service intervals will extend the life of the vehicle. Doing as much as you can yourself will save money. If you use the vehicle "hard" then more frequent is better. And "hard" does not just mean 75 mph in the sand dunes, stuck in city traffic and low speed operation builds up more heat, evaporates more fluids, and cooks them down to sludge.

DIY work is a great hobby for some of us, and a fiscal reality for others. The saved funds can boost the 401K, the college fund, or the SWMBO mad money fund.

 

Thanks again Savannah. Now where do I put the Sea Foam in at? I know it says a vacuum line. But where is it at?
