Looking for people to share ideas on how to make your H3 (or any vehicle) last longer? My mechanic just told me to add Lucas gear oil when I get my oil changes. Any other ideas?

 

Follow the maintenance schedule? Go to Page 426.

 

ROYAL PURPLE 75/90 in both Diff's, pour CLEAN SHOWER through the sun roof drains to prevent clogging ( drains clog more in dryer climates because of less flushing ), change transfer case fluid every 20 K )

 

Do not wait five years to change DEXCOOL and add two bottles of PURPLE ICE, add a drain plug to tranny pan when filter is changed and frequently change the DEXRON VI even though it is less than half the total fluid, full synthetic motor oil ( I prefer MOBIL 1 ) and do not wait for OIL LIFE indicator, only use WIX oil filter

 

Not waiting for the Oil Life Monitor System to tell you to change your oil is a choice uninformed people may make, but if you like to **** away $$ on extra not needed oil changes, go ahead.

 

Thanks for the "go ahead" Doc! Have you ever done any lab analysis on oil with over 5K vs 3K ? I have. Also, I am expanding my vocabulary by reading you'r well worded postings.

 

He bought a Hummer, pissing away money was a given.

 

Amazing ... Someone actually agrees with me?
