An xr6T ute it's 2008 FG and I was wondering what everyone thought about maintenance. It has had one service from my local mechanic which was air filter oil filter and all the usual for only 220. Its due about a week ago for a service but still has about 7000ks untill due on the clock. Should I wait until the 30000kms? Also what do people do between servicing? Change the oil etc. Any turbo maintenance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that turbo cars need the oil changed more regularly.How many K's is the car sitting on now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
