We use a different oil on diesels, I thinks it’s Motul, but don’t remember for sure.

That will have the specified weights but what about the STJLR.51.5122 spec?

Royal Purple said theirs meets the spec.

we are working with BG Petrospecs to get an oil that is to spec as they are more affordable than RP.

I like the black look too. Wish it was more matte than gloss but still like it. Unfortunately, ours will be my wife's primary driver and after the Q5 S-Line package, she is tired of black. Once I actually saw a sample of this Glacier interior, I felt much better about it at least. Light color but it is gray, not white, and the wife likes it [again] better than black. I just want it to get here . . .

We went with black seats and headliner. I’m always grubby from wrenching and didn’t want to get anything dirty. It’s my wife’s daily, but we ride to work together.

Default The blackening continues...

Was looking for a wheel similar to the SVX, but wanted to stay with genuine Land Rover wheels. Settled on a set of 20”s from a 2018 sport and had them powder coated gloss black. I have always loved Michelin and we have these on our D2 & D3, LTX AT2 275/55r20. Bought new 433mHz sensors. Vehicle instantly recognized them, no programming necessary.
