My 2002 GV's engine is the V6-2.5, with about 52000 miles now. It is working well, but with noises in the commands. My mechanic has recommended me to use the...
Wow, that's a shocker, what were you using before? Molasses? Frankly, I think most engine noises are over-rated. It's a high-speed machine and normal running...
Now now, people be gentle.   The fact is that it just may be remotely possible, that this particular engine, having excessive clearances and subsiquent...
What sort of command noises? Marco, I have never heard of using that heavy a multiviscosity lubricant for the H25. The lower weight at running temps may be ok...
just took my 2001 gv in for an ol change yesterday > they said it was leaking massive iol and was bone dry. brought it home and checked it out No oil in drive...
I believe the Vitara itself consumes oil. I have a 2.7 xl7 and by the time I change the oil at 3K, I only get about 3 quarts out of it. Also, the seal by the...
I live in a tropical zone (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). The engines in Brazil usually have to use thicker oils because of the high level temperatures. The more...
Before you do anything rash take it in to your local trusted and Suzuki knowledgeable mechanic and/or Suzuki dealer and have them look it over for you. I've...
FWIW, my '99 had Mobil 1 from mile 1,568, and it *still* consumed oil at a rate of about a quart every 5K miles. At least it slowed down from a quart every...
Our XL7 and the GV both consume(d) oil. Maybe half a quart every 3k miles and I've used 5w30 Mobil 1 on both for over 40k between them. However I can't say...
FWIW, I had a 72 Chevy ¾ ton Camper Special with a 350ci engine. I never (in 100K miles) used any oil detectable in the stick IF I changed the oil at 2.5K...
On three separate occasions, I'd gone to 3 different oil change businesses.. I was in different locations ... Wyoming, Arizona, and Nevada... I was told my...
Hi friends, Am from Kuwait, seriously planning to buy a Full Automatic Grand Vitara 4Cyl. model 2006 (new design). I just like to know that, this new design...

As I understand it, starting with the 2006 model Suzuki has discontinued the body on frame design (truck like) for the all-in-1 body frame (car like). The...
So true, Kelly !! (Actually, since I already have ONE fraternal twin.. .that would make YOU a twin, and ME a triplet !!) heheheheh.. ... never ... design ... ...
So, it started out like so many Mondays rainy thunder lightening! No, Really! 4:00AM... BOOM!  Anyway the much better half was on her way to work when...
Chris, is the damage not covered by collision insurance? If so, is the deductable very high? The only thing that our GV has run over on the highway that...
Calmini's lift gives you new control arms...but then you'd need the knuckles and all that still. Calmini gets hot and cold recommendations from users...can't...
Bummer. Damn. That just sucks. Please tell me the wheel was alloy, of relatively high value, and your wife picked it up as both evidence, and to either resell...
Ya it just made my day!!!  At one time I really felt that this rig had solid potential. I still feel that is is not a bad little rig in-spite of this ones...
I made one last trip (hopefully) to northern Nevada this past weekend. Of course, I HAD to drive through utah.. most of the way... On I-70 west of Grand...
Oh...this is **always** what you want to see while tooling along that ultra-populated section of I-70.... <eye roll> If it stopped when you turned off the A/C,...
No problem. It isn't a belt problem, per se...that's merely what's burning. If the compressor seized...there really ins't any forseeing that. Man...only 67K,...
Good grief!! I can't keep up with youse guys. I wasn't overly fond of NV, but it got me to Colorado, so I can't complain. :)  I'll let you know what I...
Bah! 11 years, we've lived in, um, 4 different states. Texas twice, so I count it as one. Have traveled to all of them, save Hawaii, in the past three,...
So, Kelly... do you write for a living??? You should !! So.. have you been to Alaska?? The mountains there are probably identical to Canada. I was...
No, but I've had quite a number of people say I should...and I quite appreciate the recommendation. I type quite quickly, so it's amazing how it kinda rolls...
