Hey I’m looking into getting some spacers for my MY LR too. So extended studs are not required for spacers up to 10mm? I can’t seem to find this info anywhere else.
There are companies out there (very rare) that has 10mm spacers with studs on them. 10mm are best suited with extended studs, overall extended studs are best overall for all spacers. I’m not sure if it’s done yet, I would assume you can attach studs of your own to the 10mm wheel spacers. For this, I highly recommend doing research first.
My 06 tl's engine got coolant in it from the radiator having a small crack in it according to a mechanic and now it makes since because when it did run i could sometimes smell some coolant and now it wont even start so im assuming the timing belt is out of time or i guess it could be no compression because the o rings are worn on the pistons because of the coolant. Idk this sucks because now im probably looking at probably having to let go of it unless i want to find a new engine or pay the 32 hundred to rebulild it on top of having the timing belt, water pump, and radiator replaced.
Just to note for future viewers or yourself, per manufacturing spec, if you got the 2.0L engine, you can use 0W-20, but only once, after that, you must use 0W-16 for the next change. If you got the 1.8L engine, then you can use 0W-20 oil, and once if use 0W-16, basically opposite.
carbon buildup is inevitable on direct injection engines and must be cleaned periodically. There is no avoiding it. Chances are your engine's intake valves are caked in carbon. Get it cleaned out and get an oil catch can installed to slow down future buildup considerably.
How did you check the oil level with the dipstick? My new oil was so transparent, it was difficult to see. I put the dipstick on a paper towel, but I don’t think it was an accurate reading as I had trouble keeping the dipstick steady.
Hey, it's been 2 years & I'm wondering of you'd still recommend the Megan Racing Axle back. How did it affect your MPG & overall performance in the long run? Any extra vibration? Looking to get one for my 2011 IS250
