Good to see ford replacing the engine so everything should be chipper after the newbie goes in. Calmly mention a turbo at the time of the install.

By the time I had to do the interim (7500) service the oil level was on add. Then they said "come back in 1,000". Came back and the oil level was perfect. Then at the 15,000 service oil level was on add. They said "it shouldn't loose oil after 15,000. " Went back 1,000 later, level was dead on. Now about 7,000 after that oil level is pretty much perfect On a side note the Pulsar SSS I had (which my brother now drives) was amazing. It still has the same oil levels and the oil still looked new until about 70,000 km's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
