Q:
Do I have to buy foreign oil to put into a Land Rover LR3 HSE?
Im looking at buying one and was wondering about it being foreign. The closest dealership is about 2 hrs away, because I dont think that any of the dealerships would be able to work on it around here. Do you have to buy foreign oil to put in it or anything like that. One of my friends said that and I just thought that I would check and make sure.

A: The LR3 does not require "foreign" oil. I suspect your friends are somewhat clever and were making a joke at your expense, considering that the LR3 is an SUV. If they were not making a joke, and they actually believe you have to import motor oil for that engine, than I suspect they are not clever at all.
Land Rover does not use anything special in their engines. As a matter of fact, even the modern Land Rover engine likes to keep things simple. The dealers strongly suggest you keep that in mind, and as such they recommend oil weights that are very common around town.
No matter what that manual says, you can bet it will ask for something that is easy to get just about anywhere. Just avoid taking it to Jiffy Lube, unless you bring your own oil.
This is not because you need special oil, this is because the stuff they actually keep around is absolute crap. You may as well go to Advance Auto, O'Reilly, Carquest, Napa or Autozone and get the proper weight and a good brand. They WILL have what you need. Land Rovers aren't made of faerie dust, you don't have to bless the oil and dip it in the waters of the river Styx for it to work. It just has to be the right viscosity, and that is all.
As for working on the vehicle, many Land Rover owners take pleasure in doing their own work. If this isn't the case for you, have no fear. The bits that make Land Rovers tick operate on the same principals that all other vehicles do. The only difference in a Land Rover is that the parts are larger, and require more regular maintenance.
This is where people get the wrong idea about Land Rovers. People think that more service equals bad reliability. This is not the case.
Normal vehicles are designed to last for about 150,000 miles. They generally go a bit longer, but they are basket cases at that point. Ready for the junk yard at the big 200.
Land Rovers are designed to last indefinitely. This being the case, you are expected to take better care of them, so the parts will keep on working properly for years to come. The parts are designed to be serviced, and if they are not serviced, they will fail.
In contrast, many other vehicles are not designed to be serviced to any great degree. The parts go for their 150,000 miles or so, and then fail one by one until the vehicle is useless.
As an example, on the Discovery II, the owner is capable of actually lubricating the blower motor bearings for the climate control system. From start to finish, it takes about 5 minutes. Try THAT on a Chevrolet.
A Land Rover is a reliable vehicle, you just have to maintain it properly, and be prepared to maintain it more often. You can find service techs in almost every area that are comfortable with servicing a Land Rover. They commonly have a shop that specializes in both Japanese and European vehicles. Your Land Rover, however, will not require frequent trips to the dealer, beyond the dealer maintenance schedule that you should do on ANY car, if you are incapable of doing it yourself.
In town, you will mainly be concerned with lubrication. Anyone can do this, just don't use the crap lube they will try and sell you. Use what you are supposed to use. (answered by kennith w on February 11, 7422)
A: Why don't you think other dealers can do the work ? No you do not need "foreign" oil. They may look nice but they are very expensive to repair.

Q:
What should we buy:Land Rover LR3 HSE or Audi Allroad?
Thinking about buying a new(er) vehicle, wife and I really like the above listed cars...here is the catch, we are willing to spend about $20K on a new(er) car, both of them at that price range are just out of their bumper to bumper warranty. So we'd be getting a nice car, low miles, but old enough that we'd have to buy the extended warranty or just deal with cost of high repairs if something should happen.
I've owned 6 Audi's in the past and would never drive a Scubaru or other AWD in the snow/rain/mud because of Audi's superior Quattro system. I'm completely not interested in Domestic vehicles.
(asked by Forrest P on August 02, 2008)
A: none of the above
if you buy either one you'll have endless repair bills and get to know your mechanic or dealership very well.
Audi might be a bit better but the parts and service are terribly expensive.
don't buy a Saab, Jaguar, or a Land/Range Rover.
Subaru is best for bad roads & wet conditions (answered by chucksright on August 02, 2008)
A: Neither!!!

Q:

With the HSE luxery package.
Witch ends up being around 50 thousand.
I'm makeing the down payment by myself then later on my parents are helping me with some of the cost.
I took one for a test drive and I loved it.
Is it worst the price?
And later on does it last?
Oh and I was also looking at the Range Rover sport is one better than the other.
(asked by Sophy on September 13, 2009)
A: I know that we people want to drive luxury cars and stuff. But you are new on the road so I do not suggest you getting a car that costs that much money. I doubt that you and your parents are going to buy that car CASH. If you are putting some kind of down payment then you must be making payments every month (about 3-400 or even more ). Now think about other costs such as insurance and car maintenance(this one you will most likely spend a lot on OFTEN). Land Rovers are not very reliable cars. Car values drop very quick so I don't suggest into getting something that is very expensive.
Finally, If you really have the money then I would suggest into getting something more reliable like a LEXUS, BMW, MERCEDES, ACURA, or INFINITI. (answered by VTEC on September 14, 2009)
