Every single time...

Lightweight, stripped down, great handling, fun, weekend cars that are most importantly ACCESSIBLE.

This is one of the most disappointing LH articles I’ve seen in a while. You did no research beyond reading a CR article that itself had very little information. Check bobistheoilguy.com for some actual information about oil.

Eh...it depends on the car / condition. If it’s an import, even at 100k plus you’re probably good to go to do a switch. I’ve switched multiple E36s at 130k plus, not a problem.

Not so much a specific brand, but rather it must meet a particular specification.

Fortunately Amazon came to the rescue when I change the oil in my TDI.
Even near a major city the only place I could find VW507.00 certified oil was at a VW dealer for right around $20 a liter.

Amazon had it for $7 a quart.

So if you live near a coast with average weather and drive a decent distance regularly, then it might make sense to use regular over synthetic? I think it’s safe to say that most people are better off using synthetic in the long run.

There are plenty of high mileage discos, but the majority of them are dealer serviced by the rich original owners and still end up a heap after 100k. This is just my experience with a couple friends that bought them for overlanding. There are obviously exceptions, but I have the same number of friends riding monteros,…

Trucks are cars.

Please rid yourself of the bean in a sombrero for peat’s sake.

I’d be down. But I’d never buy one, because Ford will throw a $75k sticker on it. Nothx.

YOU SEE THIS FORD? THIS IS WHAT WE WANT! Sweet jeebus, this makes me want another Bronco, but I know it won’t be anywhere near as cool, I don’t have anywhere to go wheelin’, and I already have too many cars in the driveway as it is.

We need a lot more of this, a little less of the US military chest thumping articles that have become the recent norm. Thanks for reporting on this. Hopefully there are readers out there that can assist in some way.

Yeah, I also hated the bent washer. Never had a problem with it though. Fortunately here in NH they only do emissions on ‘96 and newer. They do safety inspections on everything, though. I always went to a guy who liked to talk. He’d put the Rover on a lift, and look around. I had holes in the rear sill, and the rear…

But didn’t you see the bears attacking it!

I would say that the current Wrangler is the toughest act to follow.

I’m trying to guess what model your “95 Land Rover” is. Since you said you only paid a few hundred more than the quoted brake repair, its definitely not a 1995 Defender 90. Can’t be a 1995 Range Rover 4.0SE because those are only full float in the rear. So, either a ‘95 Classic or a Discovery. I’m going to guess and…

If there isn’t a law that says they can hold your car, there should be. I’ve seen enough r/justrolledintotheshop to know that people are dangerous killing machines. Especially when it comes to brake and tire maintenance.
