This is exactly the kind of test that hundreds ( if not thousands) of car mechanics wish they had the resources to do . Top marks for seeing this thru Great video
Besides the good information this video and others in this channel provide, what actually amuses me is the way Vera looks at him every single time in every single video. Definition of love.
Christian's workmanship is second to no none. Always interesting, and the thoroughness that he applies to his analysis of LR components, is amazing. Vera's comments from behind the camera, while always being accurate, alway make me smile. Thank you.
This is really spooky...I awoke this morning with a thought for the day..that being I wanted to know everything thing there is to know about a Disco 3 oil pump... astonishing, my life is complete now...what a great upload...cheers you are amazing 🤩
I know a lot more work went into this wonderful video than is apparent. Christian's craftsmanship is most excellent! I did similar (but more crude) testing with the oil pump of a 1.6L VW Rabbit (Caddy) diesel, so I can certainly relate. I found that pumping the oil heats it significantly, and somewhere I may still have those records. A larger displacement pump may create more heat, but I doubt this will be a problem for you. I would like to reinforce the comment about replacing the pump when replacing the timing belt! My wife had a 1997 Toyota Camry, and I wasted a great deal of time looking for an oil leak - even changing the oil pan gasket - to no avail. The leak was from the intricately shaped oil pump cover o-ring, which had hardened and cracked. After that, I made it a practice to change the o-ring when changing the belt - BUT - as you know, not all o-rings are the same! At one point, I purchased a belt change kit that included the belt, the cam and crankshaft seals, the oil pump seal, and the oil pump o-ring. That o-ring in the kit was not thick enough, and I still had to buy one from Toyota! At one point, I also bought a camshaft seal that leaked, even though it was new. It is disappointing when a large job is finished and there is a problem because of new part quality. This can happen even when a lot of attention is focused on the details. Thank you for your wonderful video, Vera and Christian!
We can fully relate to you. When we changed the oilpump on my Disco 3, we still had a oil leak. We keep an close eye on it since the oil it looses is only minute and just collects on the underbody protection. But we will be replacing the oilpump and all belts and hopefully eliminate that leak soon. 👍🙋♀️Vera
Lovely to watch the engineering. I am English and drive a 70 series Toyota, so I will never have this problem but I can still learn and enjoy. I was already planning to replace my oil pump, I have about 290'000km so it will benefit from a new one.
The only thing I have to say it is "Thank you for the effort you put on this videos". You are very creative and at least I am grateful for all your efforts. I think most and maybe all, are grateful. Keep up the good work!
As always, an enthralling watch. factual , informative, and delivered in a charmingly harmonious environment. an abject lesson in how to educate and entertain , why was school never like this.
I love hearing a German expert engineer explaining land rovers literally the best of both worlds… Not to mention these guys will answer any question you have within a few hours of you asking very prompt responses with these guys I have to say these are the best bloggers I’ve ever came across if you were interested in fixing your LanRover yourself and learning
What an absolutely brilliant video. I can't believe the amount of engineering Christian does, to perfection, to demonstrate or test the functionality of a part. Vera's laugh whilst all the machining is going on is very contagious btw! Great episode, which I'm guessing took far far longer than the length of the video. Well done, again, you two, you really are a great couple. Take care.
Un artiste de la mécanique land 👍👍👍 En France 🇫🇷 personne ne sait les réparer c’est triste mon père a un problème avec son range tdv8 de 2009 140000 kms depuis un an il trouve pas la panne Il a toujours entretenu nickel un jour il roulait C’est arrête La éteint sans problème sans défaut il a jamais redémarré depuis 🤔😩
German precision with the perfect English terminology. I'm always impressed! Could I say that, speaking so precisely, you speak German English :) Keep it up! You two are lovely, thanks!
Dear LR Time, I am writing to the Board of Land Rover and recommend that they establish ato be located in your garage in Germany. Enormous amounts of funding will of course be allocated to you, to be spent at your discretion. Christion/Vera, you are absolute CHAMPIONS. Thank you for your dedication. I am of course subscribed.
Perfect timing with this video. My 2007 D3 is due it's timing belt and I know the pump was replaced with the upgraded FOMOCO one in the last change and so I was therefore considering whether I need to do the pump again. After seeing your tests I will do the pump again. Keep these videos coming as they are a real encouragement and source of great information and fun to watch.
Christian and Vera wonder’s never cease ))) wonderful video and presentation from you two and as always very entertaining love watching Christian his detailed explanation)))). 🇬🇧😃❤️😃
You make my life complete, you always make great entertaining videos and bring a smile to my face knowing the world is a better place for all your efforts
Great video - thanks. Loved the comments (several times) - Christian: we have to keep the oil clean as it's going back in Vera's car - Vera: No it's not! - Please note that we are all on Vera's side here 😉 😘
😅👍And of course I got my way, he ordered 10 L of brand new oil for me. I just have to make sure that he does not put it into Fabians car next Saturday. 🙋♀️Vera
Dear LR Time, I am writing to the Board of Land Rover and recommend that they establish a Centre of Excellence in Quality & Reliability, to be located in your garage in Germany. Enormous amounts of funding will of course be allocated to you, to be spent at your discretion. Christion/Vera, you are absolute CHAMPIONS. Thank you for your dedication. I am of course subscribed.
Why ever lm looking at Disco oil pumps l really couldn’t tell ya, lv watched so many of Christian and Vera’s videos it’s getting like a soap opera fix now every Sunday, no matter what the subject. I feel like an overstayed guest in the house, with glimpse of outside, the drive, road gates and garden, let alone the garage. Keep up the good work you guys, lm missing my old LR already, l can see myself stupidly buying another LR money pit, and selling the X5, as l do miss the comfort and drive ability but l admit not the garage bills.
Now that you have your test rig, you should test liquid moly and also Lucas fully synthetic additive with fresh and worn out oil in the different pumps to see how much they help. You might need an oil heater (sump heater). Thank you for the video.
Great video as usual and well needed education on this topic! The only thing I would have suggested had I been there would have been to adjust the precision flow valve such that 1 or 1.5 bar was maintained on all three pumps. You would then have demonstrated the difference in flow rate between the different displacements and levels of wear. Other than that, bravo!
It's another Totally Epic Late Late Show with Christian and Vera! ;) Thanks so much for the ongoing edutainment digging deeper and deeper into the finer points of this engine. You're both awesome :)
Hi, your Wurth you weight in gold , Your attention to detail is amazing and the time you put in to prove a point . Good old school engineering . Noah would be proud and he saved all the animals , whilst you both try to save the L R Discovery . Great work you two .🤔 🙃 😉
This reminds me of the hydraulic training panels we used in school many years ago. It was a mathematical certainty that a fellow student would unintentionally drench you in Shell Tellus 46.
I changed my 08 pump with the upgraded FoMoCo pump at 195k km and stripped down the original one - had no visible wear after that km. At 340k now. I've never been happy with the time it takes the oil pressure to build up in these engines - a good few seconds if the car hasn't run for a while, but so far mine is still running very well.
I love your content and your relaxed style. I have a disco 4 and my wife has a disco 3. Both have done more than 200,000 miles. It would probably be useful if I was a better mechanic. Thanks for your great videos guys. John
As ever, fun to watch. Very informative and its good that someone goes to the lengths you do to test and build rigs that actually make sense when being used!. Keep it up, always makes good informative viewing ;-)
How do I become a patron?? I love your videos and want to pay something towards the cost. I get so much benefit from what you teach, the entertainment is priceless!!
Too informative as always! Although I am not an LR owner, I do expect to watch your videos every week. Now, if you do have some information and advices for the rest of us diesel owners, that would be great to hear from you.
I do love your work, travels and sense of humour. We are about to start our youtube channel and travel across Europe to Southern Turkey in our Series 3 109" that has been part of our family for 38 years. I was going to call her ancient but then realised what an inditement that would be on my wife! If we can document our travels half as well as you and Vera - I will be a happy chappy!
Really interesting video, nice one. I have heard that the biggest risk of spun bearing is right after an oil change, while the filter housing fills up. Why not have a filer housing with a removable plug so that the housing can be filled up with oil before start up? Keep up the great videos!
I Show in my essential maintenance video how to prime the pump and filter. The oil galley on a TDV6 does not fill slower than on other cars and there is a check valve to prevent draining as well. The bearing failure is not caused by this issue alone I think. Christian
I discovered you not long ago and I love your videos!! It's a shame that you don't speak French, because yes I'm French 😃 .. But I take great pleasure in watching you !
Love to watch your video's and love the clear explanation of the techniek and the weaknesses of the Disco. Question: can you explain me the difference between the SDV6 and the TDV6 besides the Horsepowers..?
Another fantastic tutorial. I just had the 7 year service (front and rear belts changed) on my 2014 D4 with the 3 litre diesel engine it was at 85,000km and I did not ask about changing the oil pump. Wish you had published this a month earlier. Great videos and I am now watching out for every new instalment. I wonder if you will be doing any videos on the ZF 6 speed transmission? Like how long between servicing under various conditions. Something for the future perhaps when the opportunity arises.
The ZF needs a flush at 80t km according to ZF for example on a BMW. There will be a Robbie’s guide video on our HP8 down the road. Our LR3 is a manual. Christian
Thank you both, I have only just discovered your channel as I start on my fact finding journey into whether buying a discovery 3 or 4 is a good idea or not. I love the content you produce, amazing quality and detailed presented in a very through Germanic style ( which having grown up there I really appreciate and miss ) I am slowly catching up on your past videos and following your recommendations for other sources of information and am learning so much, the one thing I have come to realise so far is that to own and run a discovery it helps to have your own workshop 😂. Thank you again for your content and dedication.
Got that right 😅. No but seriously, if you want to buy a Land Rover, you got to be able to fix it yourself or have the money to have it maintained and fixed regularly. And get yourself a OBDii diagnostic tool and hook it up to your car during test drive. 😃👍🙋♀️Vera
I too am in the same boat as to buy a discovery or not..i have always managed to do the basic servicing and repairs along with my dads quidance on my cars and enjoyed it..but some of these problems leave a small amount of doubt in my mind! Never the less Christian and Vera's videos are fantastic 👌 thank-you both x
I wish you were my local mechanic. My D3 is about to have an engine rebuild and the issue i have now is that the company wont be as thorough as you. I have already asked to many questions based on watching you guys. You guys are great please dont stop. OH and can we have an update on Fabians engine. 🙏 how is it running?.
Brilliant as usual. After living in a German speaking country for some years I got used to the very abrupt way people speak to each other. I would normally expect lots of 'please' and 'thank you' all over the place. None here but Vera seems happy. It does take a bit of getting used to from an outsider perspective. Nevertheless the effort and information given in your videos is very useful and appreciated.
I did the first motor belt change on my Discovery 3 m.y. 2007 at 170.000 km, 7 years ago, but at that time I didn’t know about the oil pump issue; now I’ve found a new & upgraded oil pump here in Italy for less than 100€… I’ve also scheduled a new motor belt change at 340.000 km thanks to your video. Now 310.000 Km on the clock, hope it will last.
Just replaced ours, I’m 4th owner, and she just clocked 220,000 on the original pump, wow, I’m glad it’s done! Haha 😆 first thing we did was the trans filter, at 160k. Too late it turns out….
Congratulations to both of you! We will wait your next video and see step by step the oil pump replacement. It will be really interesting, to keep to cost low! Thank you in advance.
You two are a national treasure for the Land Rover community. Only thing I wish is that Christian would wear a lab coat like Ken Bergsma of Mercedesource does.
We actually have a white one from Jaguar, back when we were still in Michigan and Christian was at Jaguar in the UK all the time. But I just can't find it. 😅👍🙋♀️Vera
@@Vera_and_Christian I think a dark green coat with your LR Time logo on it would be perfect. Did Christian work for Ford while in Michigan? One of these days it would be fun for you to do a Q&A video and talk about your backgrounds a bit, I am sure many of your fans would be interested. Keep up the good work!
Wieder ein toller Beitrag für alle Schrauber der Disco- Gemeinde. Ich persönlich bin wieder um eine Erkenntnis reicher, was die Motorschaden Ursachen angeht . Danke dafür! Etwas unverständlich ist für mich, dass Ihr ausschließlich Englisch sprecht, gerade da es um technische Dinge geht . Auch wenn ich selbst damit klar komme , wären eure Beiträge , zumindest hin und wieder, in deutscher Sprache, eine Bereicherung. Viele liebe Grüße, Heinz
Dafür haben wir leider zu wenige deutschsprachige Zuschauer. Ich glaube es sind nur 5%. Dann würden wir die restlichen 95% verlieren, und die kommen aus England, Australien und Amerika hauptsächlich, viele auch aus afrikanischen Länder. Der Altblech-Schrauber mach ausschliesslich Videos auf Deutsch und bekommt keine 300 Clicks auf seine Disco 3 Videos. Aber danke für dein nettes Kommentar, das freut uns immer. Gerne kannst du uns auch eine email schreiben wenn du fragen hast. 🙋♀️Vera
In my MY2008.5 there was also the old housing used. Replaced it when the timing belt change was due, because I read too many complaints of the housing will break after service. A few hundred Euros is still less than a broken engine.
That is always the smart way to go. We will be replacing the oilpump on my Disco 3 now for the second time since it already has 150000km on it again. 👍🙋♀️Vera
Great video.. The engine makes a good noise when the pump fails. Common JLR fail too ....unfortunately. 7k engine rebuld with no help from JLR, they didnt want to sell me the parts. Last JLR purchase for me.
Yes, absolutely. That is very important. Wait until we show the next video on Rainers Discovery. For him, it's very important that the oil pump gets changed soon, even so he has a Disco 4 already. 🙋♀️Vera
Another great video guy's my d3 is booked In for new belts and pump but not till February, it's done 130 thousand miles and had timing belt done once before at 77 thousand. Going to have nightmares for the next month now🤣🤣
Well done both of you great video. I was fixing the gearbox on my lawn mower today and thought it’s Sunday so it’s LR Time. Definitely something to look forward to after chasing detent balls around the garage
Hi. Thank you very much for your hard work put on this channel. I have been watching the videos for last 3 years. Very informative and entertaining all the time. I am going to order timing belt of my disco 4 sdv6 engine with 180000km runtime. Seems like I should also change the oil pump
Yeah, we always change boths together, the oil pump and the rear fuelpump timing belt) at the same time. And we do that at about a 120000km running time. 👍🙋♀️ Vera
What a fantastic video. I bought a new oil pump from a Citroën main dealer I think in 2017 to fit to my Jag XJ 2.7 to get the reinforced pulley boss. I have no idea whether it's a 13mm or 15mm pump though. My car is now at 170k miles (272k km) and so I have moved to 10w40 oil. It rarely drops below freezing in London and I do sometimes drive to Southern Spain. If there any possibility that you could rerun your test to compare the default 5w30 with 10w40? My feeling is that the thinner oil is for lower emissions and better fuel economy rather than protecting the engine. What do you think?
Yes, 5w30 is for fuel economy. 10w40 is ok I think. I found only Total Oil with the necessary approvals. Testing oils requires heat. This is something for the pros. Thanks. Christian
I read somewhere that a lube oil manufacturing company recommending the W40 oil instead of the W30 as viscosity at high temperature drops off thus offering no protection leading to breakdown. Better play it safe.
@@vs6300 and I am sure that I heard that the first Jaguar S-Types with the 2.7 specified a thicker oil, but then Jaguar Landrover changed it to a thinner oil later on.
This is exactly the kind of test that hundreds ( if not thousands) of car mechanics wish they had the resources to do . Top marks for seeing this thru Great video
Besides the good information this video and others in this channel provide, what actually amuses me is the way Vera looks at him every single time in every single video. Definition of love.
Christian's workmanship is second to no none.
Always interesting, and the thoroughness that he applies to his analysis of

This is really spooky...I awoke this morning with a thought for the day..that being I wanted to know everything thing there is to know about a Disco 3 oil pump... astonishing, my life is complete now...what a great upload...cheers you are amazing 🤩
Christian is a genius. All that precision engineering just to run some tests. Great work.
I know a lot more work went into this wonderful video than is apparent. Christian's craftsmanship is most excellent! I did similar (but more crude) testing with the oil pump of a 1.6L VW Rabbit (Caddy) diesel, so I can certainly relate.

to increase the oil pressure, you need to change the oil nozzles! New ones will have a pressure of 1.4 bar at idle!
Good video as usual guys. What I did learn from this video is - without Vera, Christian would not know where anything is. 😜
Thank you for the content guys. Amazing attention to detail as always along with the odd chuckle. Keep up the good work .

I love the content you produce, amazing quality and detailed presented in a very through Germanic style ( which having grown up there I really appreciate and miss ) I am slowly catching up on your past videos and following your recommendations for other sources of information and am learning so much, the one thing I have come to realise so far is that to own and run a discovery it helps to have your own workshop 😂. Thank you again for your content and dedication.
Got that right 😅. No but seriously, if you want to buy a Land Rover, you got to be able to fix it yourself or have the money to have it maintained and fixed regularly. And get yourself a OBDii diagnostic tool and hook it up to your car during test drive. 😃👍🙋♀️Vera
Buy a Toyota!! 😉
(And a hammer 😉)
I too am in the same boat as to buy a discovery or not..i have always managed to do the basic servicing and repairs along with my dads quidance on my cars and enjoyed it..but some of these problems leave a small amount of doubt in my mind! Never the less Christian and Vera's videos are fantastic 👌 thank-you both x
Buy the D3 over the D4 ;-)
I wish you were my local mechanic. My D3 is about to have an engine rebuild and the issue i have now is that the company wont be as thorough as you. I have already asked to many questions based on watching you guys. You guys are great please dont stop. OH and can we have an update on Fabians engine. 🙏 how is it running?.
He put on 2000 km by now, and we‘ll see him on Saturday. Then we‘ll do an oilchange and hopefully find no metalchips 😅👍🙋♀️Vera
Brilliant as usual. After living in a German speaking country for some years I got used to the very abrupt way people speak to each other. I would normally expect lots of 'please' and 'thank you' all over the place. None here but Vera seems happy. It does take a bit of getting used to from an outsider perspective. Nevertheless the effort and information given in your videos is very useful and appreciated.
Yeah we do not talk like that, when working together as a married couple for example, here in Germany, and we do not consider it to be rude. 👍🙋♀️Vera
Brilliant footage! so glad my D3 got a new FoMoCo uprated pump 6 months ago along with all front and rear belts, tensioners etc!
I did the first motor belt change on my Discovery 3 m.y. 2007 at 170.000 km, 7 years ago, but at that time I didn’t know about the oil pump issue; now I’ve found a new & upgraded oil pump here in Italy for less than 100€…
I’ve also scheduled a new motor belt change at 340.000 km thanks to your video.
Now 310.000 Km on the clock, hope it will last.
That is quite a number 😃👍🙋♀️Vera
Magnificent engineering
My god this guy is intelligent love you guys from Sydney
Very well done guys, interesting conclusions and sound experimental method.
Just replaced ours, I’m 4th owner, and she just clocked 220,000 on the original pump, wow, I’m glad it’s done! Haha 😆 first thing we did was the trans filter, at 160k. Too late it turns out….
Congratulations to both of you! We will wait your next video and see step by step the oil pump replacement. It will be really interesting, to keep to cost low! Thank you in advance.
We posted this video already. Christian
Christian&Vera,Fantastic test!
Hvl.
This is really super! Wow, what an effort and thoroughly entertaining! Thanks!
Another brilliant video, very informative. Thanks Christian and Vera
I hope you continue your videos, as I enjoy them every Sunday. I have joined on patreon to support the videos going forward 😎
Oh that is great, I hope I already contacted you, if not I will do today. The last couple of days we have been so busy unfortunately. 😃👍🙋♀️Vera
Christian having far to much fun, well done :)
Very good! I liked this episodevery much!
You two are a national treasure for the Land Rover community. Only thing I wish is that Christian would wear a lab coat like Ken Bergsma of Mercedesource does.
We actually have a white one from Jaguar, back when we were still in Michigan and Christian was at Jaguar in the UK all the time. But I just can't find it. 😅👍🙋♀️Vera
@@Vera_and_Christian I think a dark green coat with your LR Time logo on it would be perfect. Did Christian work for Ford while in Michigan? One of these days it would be fun for you to do a Q&A video and talk about your backgrounds a bit, I am sure many of your fans would be interested. Keep up the good work!
Wow, absolutely amazing!!!
You are "la bomba" guys👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Vocês 2 são sensacionais,,vídeos muito bons ,Deus vcs abençoe
😃👍 Thank you 🙋♀️Vera
Interesting video on the other Achilles heal of this engine, great team effort.
Wieder ein toller Beitrag für alle Schrauber der Disco- Gemeinde. Ich persönlich bin wieder um eine Erkenntnis reicher, was die Motorschaden Ursachen angeht .
Danke dafür! Etwas unverständlich ist für mich, dass Ihr ausschließlich Englisch sprecht, gerade da es um technische Dinge geht . Auch wenn ich selbst damit klar komme ,
wären eure Beiträge , zumindest hin und wieder, in deutscher Sprache, eine Bereicherung. Viele liebe Grüße, Heinz
Dafür haben wir leider zu wenige deutschsprachige Zuschauer. Ich glaube es sind nur 5%. Dann würden wir die restlichen 95% verlieren, und die kommen aus England, Australien und Amerika hauptsächlich, viele auch aus afrikanischen Länder. Der Altblech-Schrauber mach ausschliesslich Videos auf Deutsch und bekommt keine 300 Clicks auf seine Disco 3 Videos. Aber danke für dein nettes Kommentar, das freut uns immer. Gerne kannst du uns auch eine email schreiben wenn du fragen hast. 🙋♀️Vera
Another excellent video but I'll stick with my Toyota thanks. It's not quite the same without any "Oh my Gods" from Vera
I am here for my Citroen c6 2.7 HDi. Thank You
Ahhh Nice maybe the next Time i change my leaking Front Crankshaftseal i change the Pump, good Work you both!
We'll be doing that next on my Disco 3. 👍🙋♀️Vera
thank you
In my MY2008.5 there was also the old housing used. Replaced it when the timing belt change was due, because I read too many complaints of the housing will break after service. A few hundred Euros is still less than a broken engine.
That is always the smart way to go. We will be replacing the oilpump on my Disco 3 now for the second time since it already has 150000km on it again. 👍🙋♀️Vera
The check valve on the oil filter is a much better idea than the useless system one on the new engine the 3.0 power stroke in the US Ford F-150.
Great video..
The engine makes a good noise when the pump fails. Common JLR fail too ....unfortunately.
7k engine rebuld with no help from JLR, they didnt want to sell me the parts.
Last JLR purchase for me.
Thanks guys your both amazing
incredible, so much time spent on such things and so sophisticated to check it out, now I have to find someone to check my Disco 3 😞
Yes, absolutely. That is very important. Wait until we show the next video on Rainers Discovery. For him, it's very important that the oil pump gets changed soon, even so he has a Disco 4 already. 🙋♀️Vera
@@Vera_and_Christian looking forward to watch it, I found a repair shop for changing all that stuff, I my gosh....
Another great video guy's my d3 is booked
In for new belts and pump but not till February, it's done 130 thousand miles and had timing belt done once before at 77 thousand. Going to have nightmares for the next month now🤣🤣
😅👍I know how you feel. 🙋♀️Vera
I am impressed and amazed!
Well done both of you great video. I was fixing the gearbox on my lawn mower today and thought it’s Sunday so it’s LR Time. Definitely something to look forward to after chasing detent balls around the garage
😅👍 We had to do that this last fall and it was definitely more difficult than working on our Disco 3. 🙋♀️Vera
Hi. Thank you very much for your hard work put on this channel. I have been watching the videos for last 3 years. Very informative and entertaining all the time. I am going to order timing belt of my disco 4 sdv6 engine with 180000km runtime. Seems like I should also change the oil pump
Do it as soon as you can 👍🏻
Yeah, we always change boths together, the oil pump and the rear fuelpump timing belt) at the same time. And we do that at about a 120000km running time. 👍🙋♀️ Vera
Amazing restore.
What a fantastic video. I bought a new oil pump from a Citroën main dealer I think in 2017 to fit to my Jag XJ 2.7 to get the reinforced pulley boss. I have no idea whether it's a 13mm or 15mm pump though. My car is now at 170k miles (272k km) and so I have moved to 10w40 oil. It rarely drops below freezing in London and I do sometimes drive to Southern Spain. If there any possibility that you could rerun your test to compare the default 5w30 with 10w40? My feeling is that the thinner oil is for lower emissions and better fuel economy rather than protecting the engine. What do you think?
That would be a good test - to see the viscosity differences.
Yes, 5w30 is for fuel economy. 10w40 is ok I think. I found only Total Oil with the necessary approvals. Testing oils requires heat. This is something for the pros. Thanks. Christian
@@Vera_and_Christian Project Farm has done many tests of the different brands of oil. I will have to check and see if he has done one on viscosity.
I read somewhere that a lube oil manufacturing company recommending the W40 oil instead of the W30 as viscosity at high temperature drops off thus offering no protection leading to breakdown. Better play it safe.
@@vs6300 and I am sure that I heard that the first Jaguar S-Types with the 2.7 specified a thicker oil, but then Jaguar Landrover changed it to a thinner oil later on.
Another amazing and very entertaining video, thank you both
I wonder if the house kitchen is so well stocked with spares and tools....🤗
awesome awesome and totally cool. this video was like a very deep informative audiobook.
