Does no-one read the manual anymore?
I don't understand however, why they have singled out the UK, Germany and Israel to specify 0W16, I mean it's not like the UK has a similar temperature range to Israel, and whilst we do have a similar climate to Ireland, the Netherlands and Denmark, they get to spec 0W20??

Three different dealers, 3 times, PD, 6 & 12 month services! And they wonder why I don't want to go back!

I just posted the question on the Aus JB 74 Facebook Page, www.facebook.com/groups/1196794093818351/ no they don't read the manual, tyre pressures are another one they miss!

0W16 oil over in the UK is around £12 a litre.
I think I'll be using 0W20 in mine, Shell Helix Ultra SN 0W20 is about £9 a litre but there's a place in Darlington, Smith & Allan, that do their own label
Momentum C5 SN 0W20 for £11 for 5 litres, I reckon it's the same stuff as the Shell just they buy it in bulk and repackage it.

Penrite do an 0W16 if you really want to go low

Hi Martin. Regarding your post about disabling ESC (ESP?) manually. It sounds like a good idea for gravel roads and beaches where you might be above 30km/h but don't want the Jimny to be losing momentum.
Are you referring to the OBD connector, and is it a momentary connection between pins or does it need to be held shorted?

Cheers, Mike
