G6ET Member 9 Member For: 16y 4m 15d Location: Moranbah Qld Posted 22/08/08 03:49 AM Share Posted 22/08/08 03:49 AM Hi Guys,Picked my G6ET up on Friday 01-08-08, have included some snaps.I went for the shadow leather because I thought it would be easier to keep clean, looks like I was wrong, you can see every spec of dirt.Have included a shot with the carbra on just for those wondering what they would look like.It's almost due for the 3000km service, speaking to the service manager he says that they don't use any special running in oil. Anyone know if that is right? I'm getting them to dump the oil anyway.Very happy with everything so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The general consensus is to change it at around 3k for some more semi-synthetic (I.e. magnatec) and go full synthetic thereafter if desired.But opinions on engine oil theories are like arseholes - everyone's is different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XR0003 Member 2 Member For: 20y 10m 24d Posted 26/08/08 04:33 AM Share Posted 26/08/08 04:33 AM Since people are posting pics of their G6et, I thought I might as well also.EGO, Black Leather, some aftermarket 18" Rims (Koya zeus)my previous car was a BA XR6t. And to combine the Xr6 with luxury options is exactly what I wanted. Cheers Ford!So far the only disappointment is that the ipod integration doesn't fully support the iPhone. Not that I can blame them, but if anyone has information on *if* and when they might upgrade the software to support it that would be great.cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
