Also the Diff is rat agian this will be diff number 3 inculding orgina.l I was told by the service guys when I first complaned about the diff he told me that the diffs have been rectified and are hand built by a thrid party company and sould have no more probs. well 15,000km later I got the same problem. how many diffs have you guys had under warrenty.cheers Envi XR8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never needs oil top ups now as I changed to 7,500 klm oil changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think that this is an overkill. I live in the country and the ute is travelling at 100km most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think that this is an overkill. I live in the country and the ute is travelling at 100km most of the time.←There is quite a lot of discussions on oil changes here. I think it's generally agrees that every 15,000klm is too long.I think quite a lot of people change every 7,500klm and I know there are those that change every 5,000klm.It's definetly the owners choice but I'm happy with every 7,500klm.As it has also been stated here it's cheap insurance to change more frequently.

Posted 17/09/06 09:47 PM Share Posted 17/09/06 09:47 PM Every motor and I state again every motor uses some oil 180 to 200 ml's in 1000 km's is sweet stuff all if that is al you use than mate you have a great motor and do not change it.Even up to 600 ml per 1000 km is very little.Motors need to use a little bit of oil.Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
