You make up numbers on mpg when you could refer to Fords actual spec for 5w20 where they actually state the fuel economy increase required. You're just another poster who relies on "JMOs" instead of facts.
Are you related to skyship?
And if I chose to be as xenophobic as you appear to be I would understand perhaps what you are talking about.
I suggest you avoid strong coffee, red bull or whatever is your drink of choi e the. Re read my post.
It shall make more sense to you without caffeine.
Think about what the word "renter" means, what would that infer?
Think about it.
Maybe in your case get an adult to help.
My facts, and they are indeed facts as I own a Pathfinder and visit a Navara/Pathfinder forum regularly and the fuel consumption reported by forum members is indeed as I have posted.
Do you own a 2008 DPF equipped diesel Pathfinder auto?
No?
Oh dear. No point asking you then is there.
Have you driven V8 engined Ambulances day in day out for nearly a decade?
No?
Oops, I have.
And I did a lot of research into putting them on LPG to save my NHS Trust money, they didn't do it, most of the ex LAS V8's in private use as campers etc are run on LPG.
Have you ever filled up the 105 litre tank of a V8 Ambo at the start of a shift and had to fill it up again before the end?
No, I have, hundreds of times.
And were did I refer to Fords 5w20 oil spec?
Jaguar/Land Rover and Motul Specific yes. Ford, no.
Did you even read my post?
To end I will give you a small lesson in understanding.
If something lasts fine that is not the same as longer.
In other words I don't think running 5w20 would break the engine, I don't think it will last as LONG if you do so.
Why not pop over to Cuba as there are several ex London vehicles that were donated to the authorities there, actually I think they were given 50 of the older ones over the years.
Why not ask them if they use 5w20?
And no I am not a London Cabbie as you say.
Pay more attention, less caffeine and do try to be less opinionated, especially if you haven't read someone's post carefully.
Now, crack on, the adults are talking.
I know it's bad to egg on silly arguments, but BUUUUURN! Holla back, FoxS!
