Consumables recommendations.
Well, Its time to do the COMPLETE fluids change on the 04 XJR.
And with the accolades of modern technology, I'm left wondering what fluids to use.
Thanks to 'Victor' I have learned of the Shell naming behind the ZF transmission fluid.
But what about:
Manufactures, specifications, known accolades, pricing.
Simply put I am going for maximum performance and maximum life... Yes, I want it all ;-)
Brake Fluid: Should I consider DOT 5?
Engine coolant: So many choices! What do you think?
Engine Oil: Motul is probably overkill. I'm using Castrol Edge full synthetic, currently.
Power steering fluid: No idea here. And I am leery of the claims by the manufactures alone.
Spark Plugs: Again, so many choices.
Tires: I have been very happy with Michelin PS2. But this year I thought I'd try the Continental Extreme Contact.
Looking forward to everyones thoughts.
