I hope my experience will be useful to you.
I bought a new RRS in 2016 (MY16.5).
Very few urban roads and only quite long journeys (30/40Km) and a mean of 2.000Km per month.
I was not able to ha ... |

After 2 cars and less than 4 year with my last brand new (at that time) 2016 RRS HSE I switch to a BMW X5.
RRS is (was) a great car with great handling but it was a nightmare for the engine, the elec ... |

Interesting info John,
So if I want to continue to have the good feelings of a V6 diesel I can opt for a Velar D275 or D300...

Hello to all,
I apologize for the bad exposure of the topic.
Every EU6 has oil dilution problems, this is a fact.
I would like to know from the real owners, if a fairly new RRS suffers from t ... |

I'm suffering of FIO in a moderate way.
Just an oil change between two services.
In other words I change the oil twice a year.

I'm sorry but I have to say it's not completely true for all.
My wife's Peugeot and the BMWs of two my friends (a 530 and a X5 3000) don't suffer this problem in a relevant way.
Every model have t ... |

Thank you Renè,
it's not a good news.
But is there an RRS (diesel) that does not suffer from the FIO problem?
Or should I to trust to the well-known JLR document?

Great car Tim,
