just stick in the past guys, i'm sure that even sunflower oil has lubrication capability................ i'll say that again ONLY once:THe OLDER AND MORE WORN A GEAR OR ENGINE BECOMES THE BETTER USE THE BEST OIL IN IT to prolonge it's life if you want.... the web is full of bad reviews about LR unreliability which IMO is the result of bad orientated mercantilism of some(or more) cheapskates who want to save money on the vehicle's lubrication/maintainance. .... knock yourselves ourt guys and save money by bastardising your own vehicles... i rest my case
i'm wondering why dont you better drink the most cheap and bad smelling beer though... you could save money on it, as long as you dont consider the vehicle as being a family member dont expect so much from it

what's your problem mate???, do you feel overlapped by my knowledge? at least i made this warning for the posterity at the time when i joined this forum 10 years ago and i let it there... meanwhile i've gained some experience too helping a lot of people without charge, more than you can just think of... so GET OFF MY BACK PLEASE, experience worths nothing without perpetual study but how would you know that as your experience is huge and no need for innovation ............As you say your advice based on experience, and not official methods but that's not true. Or is it?
