Anyone have news on the matter?<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, at least one of my shockers seems to have (not shockingly) failed. 7,000 km of sedate good road driving. Got my oil changed early today (4 months, 7k kms since purchase) and definitely wanted to look at the shocks given what happened with my Thar (3 were kaput.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lo and behold <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Awaiting parts from Udaipur since Abu Road has no stock. Couldn&#8217;t check for DTC or flash EMS either since there was neither a COTEK nor a laptop to facilitate today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DEF utilization<\/strong> &#8211; reserves were at 41% after 7k kms. Looks like it consumes more than the Thar manual.<\/p>\n<p>The 6L of synthetic oil at about 3k offers tremendous value though I&#8217;ll be sticking to 10k or so for oil changes across both cars. The engine is much smoother now.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, the Coolant was down by a bit and took a top up. A half bottle of their OEM mix. Interestingly the thar has never had a top up in 45k kms.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023-09\/1_110.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023-09\/2_113.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023-09\/3_96.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023-09\/4_90.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Read BHPian comments for more insights and information. <\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/news\/7000-km-my-scorpio-n-service-update-shock-absorber-leak\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 6L of synthetic oil at about 3k offers tremendous value though I&#8217;ll be sticking to 10k or so for<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>7,000 km with my Scorpio-N: Service update &amp;
