(I can't reply with a picture... but) My drive has a break in it - which I love for servicing my vehicles. It slopes down pretty good then breaks and flattens out some leading into my garage. I put the single set of ramps on the flatter spot and the other set of tires on the slope - this creates kind of a natural 'pit' for me to work in. With this set-up and the Rovers set to off-road height - I get probably 30" or more to the door sill. Enough for my fat @ss to get under the truck. It is fairly level - but for this 'experiment' I wanted it more level. Normally I only care that it is close... Thanks again for watching and commenting! - JDW
I've been sucking for years with my MB CDI, I don't miss the mess. I also have a 2016 td6, but an RRS. T6 Rotella is great stuff, I used it for over 100k in my TDI, but it's not the best choice for a low ash, particulate filter rig. I too am looking to go to a 5w-40. But Rotella is API CH-4, that is different from C4.
I thought the CH-4 was the low ash?!?! Maybe I read that wrong - what do you think is the best 5W-40 for the TD6? Thanks for Watching and leaving a comment - JDW
@@FatAmericansGuide API CH-4 is for diesel engines "without advanced after-treatment emissions systems". I have not found any 5w-40 ACEA rated c1 or c4, the low ash ratings. So for those that want to leave the 'Dumb-ass', will need to go to mid-ash examples like c2, c3 etc. I'm running C1 rated Rowe oil (dumbass). I did get my oil tested from the td6, very low fuel content. Every time I look into alternative oils, I waste hours researching it. So it's ACEA C1 (STJLR.03.5005 spec) for now)
I did... which led to a whole debacle that I am still living with. It was the dreaded Oil Cooler seals. The entire "V" was filled with oil. I got that fixed, decided to do the timing belt and mayhem ensued. There will be videos on that later... JDW
Also if you have another set of ramps, that thing will pop up on all 4 for a level playing field!

Have you figured out where that oil leak was coming from once you took off the skid plate?
