My intent to change oil was to remove any engine burr which accumulated in oil and engine smooth lubricant.

Its been a long time I have not updated ownership experience of Lightening Bolt Jr. Here are few updates.

The tyre upgrade:

Tyre upgrade was on my radar to upgrade the tyres from HT to AT. Trailhawk comes with 225 60 R17 HT Falcon wildpeak tyres. Those were ok tyres not so great but I was looking to upgrade to 235 65 R17. My first choice was Michelin LTX or Pirellis and then Yoko. Incidentally one of my Jeeper friend came to my help he was selling his Trailhawk and he had 235 65 R17 Yoko Geolander on his Jeep and usage was 5-6K and I did 4-5K on my current set of tyres.

So tyre trade in was great and it an easy upgrade. This has changed a stance of the Jeep and it looked taller and road grip was amazing it also worked well with off road.

Immediately after tyre upgrade:

Comparison in the office parking. The LR and Trailhawk look the same height:

An unfortunate event happened - met with accident with Mahindra pick up. It was not that bad to claim insurance. Thanks to a my friend Padam who suggested I get PPF done on day one. It just protected the colour and saved me from claiming insurance.

1st Service update:

Jeep recommended service after 5K Kms. Its just a basic check and nothing more. But I asked for oil replacement and filter replacement. Overall the service cost was 6K but worth a change. My intent to change oil was to remove any engine burr which accumulated in oil and engine smooth lubricant. It works really well - the car was super soft.
