Default Hummer in Bhutan

I sent my 6 years old H2 Hummer to Bhutan two years ago. I drive it two months a year and in the most rugged condition. It is the best ride in town.

I bring engine oil every year as there is no W5-30 in Bhutan.Any substitutes for the oil?

You can only find high performance gasoline in Thimphu. I have two 5 gallons gasoline container that I fill with high performance gas when I go on trips that last for for a few days. When I have used my reserve, I just fill her up with regular gas and I can notice less power. Any suggestion what to do or should I just use the regular gas all the time.

Any suggestion on how to maintain the H2 for 5 more years?

For the gas maybe you should try carrying an octane booster to compensate for the lower grade quality gasoline.

That photo with the monks has to be one of the most interesting/unique HUMMER photos I've ever seen...

I hope you gentlemen can give me some ideas. I need to change all the brakes discs and pads. Going up and down the mountains of Bhutan has worn off my brakes. Any brand I should get and is it easy to change them.
