What engine oil are you useing?
I have read that 20w50 is the best.
Also read not to use Fram oil filters, but to use Napa as they are made by Wix.
Also not to use Mobile 1 syn. oil unless its the motorcycle oil as it has more NDDP (zinc additive)
I have been using Mobile 1 5W40 Mercedes Benz Syn. oil & Fram filters in my Disco 1 & have not had a problem in the 3 years I've had it (although it did run hot going over Hunters Range this summer?) . Also since changeing to the Mobile 1, I don't use any oil between changes even with almost 300,000kms on the clock. Plus it now doesn't leak engine oil.
