you should use oil stabilizer and fuel injection cleaner(the ones you add in the gas tank) on high milage cars.
>>14726913
What do they do
>>14726857
>>14726899
pussies
bench bro please go
>>14726972
oil stabilizer helps keep your engine even more lubricated and helps against dry start and fuel injection cleaner breaks up carbon in the pistons and fuel injectors to keep the engine running smooth. i use it on my car 09 honda accord 80,00K
>>14726857
Used to own a 240k mile 1999 BMW E46 328ci. Abused the hell out of the car, even went on a 800 mile trip on the Autobahn, pushed the car to the max several times. Never had a doubt in the car as the engine and transmission was running so good. Sold it as it needed a clutch change, but I met the current owner recently, he loves it, still running rock solid nearing 250k miles.
That's German engineering for you.
>>14727000
How did you find me
>>14726857
I'm guessing that one was since you're doing 62mph with zero oil pressure...
>>14727004
Alright. I'll add it to the list of fluids my engine desperately needs.

Those slant 6 Jags regularly go over 300k miles though. You have nothing to worry about.
>>14727054
That's British Leyland for you.
>>14727147
Except my blown head gasket and bad starter
>>14727045
>>14726972
Don't. It's not necessary. If you use the correct oil a film of oil stays where it needs to be on startup. If the manufacturer doesn't say to use it, it' not necessary.
Heh
>>14726857
is that oil gauge normal ? it looks a little low
>>14727278
electric oil pressure gauges are usually shitty like that.
the one on my old 5.0 only shows pressure when the oil is cold and the revs are above 1500

come back when you've got 250,000 miles/ another 100,000km
I'm at 250,000+ miles on my SC400 and I'm not even worried because Toyota/Lexus makes cars that last forever if you take care of them.
>>14727337
brother in law did this, turns out he didn't know he had to take the heads in somewhere to get them sanded/milled flat. never made compression again
AJ6/16 will last forever if you take care of it.
If it made it to 250k 500k should be no problem.
>>14726899
VW?
Looks identical to my Mk IV Golf
Or do they use the same dash over the whole VAG group
Don't be a pleb. Rebuild your shit when (if) it goes.
You'll have a better idea with a working oil pressure gauge ya pleb

>>14726899

>>14726857
I dont get it.
Is your oil gauge/sensor broken, or are you just a retard?
Also, if that Jag is anything like a Ford, the oil gauge is nothing but a dummy gauge.
You an easily modify it to send a real signal tho.
Look it up.
>>14730554
How do you like your mkiv? I've got a mkVI and it's a good car, has decent power compared to my corolla, but I've been having to fix a whole bunch of little stuff (taillight connector, buzzing speaker, air con delayed cooling, etc)
>>14730669
Only had it just over a month, but loving it so far.
My previous was Ford. I hate the hard noisy "sporty" ride, the plasticy cheap interior.
The mkIV is so comfy and quiet. I know boy-racers hate that it's heavy and slow, but I don't care about that. Seems powerful enough to me. It's never gonna be a Honda Civic or Focus but who cares, it's more pleasant for daily use.
I dunno where the newer ones went, I heard the mkV got a load of shit for cheaping out on the interior and being even heavier.
>>14730730
Yeah man! That's how I feel about mine haha, the interior is so far beyond the Ford's and Toyota's I've driven before. When I finally get it all fixed up, the 2.5l drivetrain will be solid and I'll be happy
>>14727055
I don't think I could drive a car with a broken oil pressure gauge. My daily doest even have one, but having one that read zero would cause me fits

There is nothing wrong with Golf 4
What "fuckhuge gas guzzling euphoria boat"
Does that mean that Golf 4 is not fuel efficient?
Because it is, 1.9 TDI is more fuel efficient then half of american cars, probably more
Fedora tipper? Am i missing something again or are you implying people who drive VW Golf are faggots? If thats the case then please kill yourself
>>14730654
My jag was made during the Ford Era.
And it's broken yea.
>>14730217
But I'm shit at taking care of it.
>>14730596
It's not a very common engine for the model. I think rebuilding it will be pricey.
>>14731025
>not a very common engine for the model
Where do you live dude? The steering wheel and the fact you said this makes me think it's a 3.2 sport but that message by the gas gauge is American only. All of these cars sold in the states had the common 4 liter. Of course, if this is the weird crossover XJ40 that had that steering wheel, that's another story. I'd be surprised if an AJ6 lasted this long with no problems. An AJ16 will do 500k no problem without a rebuild.

>>14727167
I've worked on countless slant 6 Jags over the last 6-7 years and have only seen one with a blown head gasket, it was an XJ40 with 100k and was beat to shit. How did you accomplish it?
>>14726857
odo is just a number, anon.
>>14726857
I never know which ride will be my last. I keep hoping it's the next one.
>>14731259
According to Wikipedia only 2400 standard x300s had the 4.0. Could be wrong I dunno but yea I'm in America.
>>14733774
I think it might have been there when I bought it desu. It was already pretty high mileage when I did.
I inherited a 2007 dodge caliber with 217,000 miles.
The transmission has started to overheat during the summer when going up hills.
I think the end is close.
>pic related although not my photo
He did.
>>14727618
Third? Why?
My 1998 explorer 5.0 has 218,000 miles and still runs. Well it's worn out and I run 10w-40 to quite the lifters but you can still hear them.
Point is, 5.0s never die.
>>14734360
Haha, I should have known it was you. I'm the guy with the black VDP.
You keep sketching out about this car. I don't think you understand how reliable they are. As long as the CKPS doesn't go and you have gas in the tank, it'll run. Hell, I'm getting 25.6 mpgs in mine at the moment with a few simple mods. That's crazy for a 2 ton limo. Would you buy another one if it did kick the bucket though?
>>14726857
Hope your oil pressure gauge is broken
>>14735811
Definitely would. I love the car. I have to love it with the shit it puts me through.
I've already got another jag though. It's an 87 series 3 xj6.
Once she's done I'm going to shelf the x300 until I can fix her up properly.
>>14727004
>80,000 km or miles
Not even high mileage.
>>14727013

>countless slant 6 Jags over the last 6-7 years and have only seen one with a blown head gasket
Really? I did too for many years in the past, never did see much on the modern ones, but got more XK engines with blown head gaskets than I can count.
1984 d150 Only 143Kmi but that's the millage the non-recked ones in the junk yard have and the transmission is starting to be a little funny
>bragging about millage covered
