Cos they are servicing it as if its a Toyota simple!
Hmmm. They thought it was that simple. I have been begged to come and return the car to status quo and I begged them that I can't fit. The bottom line is that they destroyed the freelander with poor quality oil like xhp and when the car overheats, they look for an easy way out. Freelander uses semi synthetic oil to cool down the temperature of the car. A lot of us mechanics are still in love with Mobil xhp and will use it on any car. Our new Toyota cars that are serviced with these mineral oils are dead. They look like overused vehicles and meanwhile, cars that are of the same age elsewhere can pass for brand new. Whenever anyone converts to Toyota engine, to restore it back to factory default is not possible

No truer words have been said, my man. The Oil weight is easy to find and easy to buy but people want cheap stuff and cos they drive these cars daily they fail to notice when the Engine changes from silence to locomotives grin grin

What do you recommend for maintenance of these vehicles with it's original engines? How much is the original engine and foxing? How much is a locally used one and a tokunbo Freelander? Thanks.

The engine oil requirement for a freelander is 15w40 semi synthetic oil.. Total Q7000 and Mrs semi synthetic oil is OK. Castrol Edge extended performance for 20k miles is available now. Available in 5w30 and 5w20 and 0w20. Limited supplies only. Call now 08098534267

Ahahahahahahaha I laugh in uhrobo. Velar fuel efficient than a Toyota 2.0l engine with that very heavy body? grin

Kun nnam yan sak

I reply in Uhrobo Eeejo.

Talking from experience the Velar is not heavy it feels somewhat light weight too me. Doesn't inspire too much confidence on higher speeds to me.

It has a very stupendously fuel efficient 2 litres turbo charged diesel engine. The torque is massive and acceleration 0-60 seemed to be well under 7 second too me. I can see fuel consumption to be in the 60mpg on the highway.

All these observations are in the UK.

I don't like the feel of the car l prefer the RR sport or AudiQ7.

If you are talking Nigeria, getting a good quality diesel may prove challenging if not downright catastrophic.

Particularly if you buy diesel sourced in Bayelsa from the "boys" so to speak.

You probably should but from NNPC mega stations or at least TOTAL anybody else and your on your own. You will need a lot of additives and probably change your fuel filter every 6 months at least.

You will not get the near 60+ mpg we get in Europe at best 40 or lower.

Add all TLC required to keep your RR velar going on Nigeria trouble free. Is it really worth it.

I guess it's a matter of preference.

Fuel consumption in newer cars are more efficient compared to older cars, for instance a 2.0 L brand new Range rover can be more fuel efficient than an old V6 camry here is why..
.

Everything about a car consume fuel, the nature of the tyres, using ac, aggresive driving, maintenance history, winding down your glass while driving, overloading your vehicle, mechanical and electrical faults.

How many gallons will do for servicing the vehicle? How much is the cost of filters and servicing? At what mileage is it due for servicing and filter replacements?

To service the car is not more than 13k and since the oil is semi synthetic, 3 months is ideal
