XR6PSI Member 80 Member For: 21y 9m 18d Posted 06/08/03 05:22 AM Share Posted 06/08/03 05:22 AM I am pretty sure there is. All the new cars we've owned "went better" after their 1st proper serveice. Our v8 ef fairmont was like another car after its 10000k and so was our explorer. So I can't wait for the day my baby goes in for its 15000k. Although that's gonna take a while :o as I don't do that many ks a day. <------benefit of working from home all miles are fun miles :punchhead: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ante Guests Posted 06/08/03 01:46 PM Share Posted 06/08/03 01:46 PM Sounds good guys, could it be a few bottles of injector treatment? even if you use pulp the cleaners make a big difference, well from my experiance anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant Member 453 Member For: 22y 3m 11d Location: Kurrajong, Sydney Posted 07/08/03 02:51 AM Share Posted 07/08/03 02:51 AM Getting close to the 30,000km service now and jhoping that I get the same increase in performance I got after getting it back from the 15,000km. Car felt tighter and heaps more responsive. Also, more of that important wheel spinning power... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
