Hey Fella's

Going to do my first oil change tomorrow and was wondering what the best oil and the best oil filter is available. I currently have an 06 BF N/A Falcon. Not wanting to spend ridiculous amounts of money, but wanting something very reliable.

Thanks for your help

Cheers, Jack.

Might pay to do a bit of a search as there is a million topics on Oils..

An Oil that I currently run is Nulon Full synthetic.

if its N/a I'd just use a castrol magnatech, you can get it for about $35 per 5L. I've run it in old school v8's which I've driven hard and never had a problem. if it were modified and had a turbo it would be a different story, like $80+ per 5L.

If you dont know the barra has a 7L sump or there abouts so you need 2 oil containers.

And a tip that caught me out, when you take the filter off, make sure the rubber o-ring on the filter stays on the filter. one one occasion mine stayed on the block and when I put the new filter on there were now 2 seals. :shocked:

Problem found after starting and checking it. A nice litre down the driveway got my attention. and that was about 20-30 secs of running at idle. After doing countless oil changes it has never happened before. just food for thought.
