specific oil. I run lpg, so I should get some. It's only 2 bucks dearer as

Just like thousands of other people.
There were *plenty* of XF's as cabs that did close to a million kilometers
using lpg and K-mart oil.

LPG doesn't cause any problems at all. In fact, the opposite is true in

it's *better* for engines in terms of longevity compared to petrol.
