Servicing Q's?

[black_gtst]

Who services their car themselves how often and using which products? is every 6-8 months or 5000ks cool for a weekend only driven car? obviestly after every track day or dyno session an oil and filter change is required but when car is only being driven easially on weekends how often should servicing be done? last time did mine i used motul oil and ryco filters and was wrapped with my car after it....

cheers!

hey mate my car loves redline 10w30. seems alot smoother when revving. everyone has there preference. some people change it every 2-3k depending on conditions. more dusty=more changes, etc.

you should change your oil whenever it gets dirty, that is, starts to go black or smells fuelly.

agreed.

how often can you put oil in a car, drive for 500km and still have honey coloured clean oil?

my oil has always looked identical when i have dropped it from any car i've had. half the time i've dropped oil is to do work on a car, maybe right after an oil change, -its always a dark 'dirty' colour

I just use real honey

Why would you change after a dyno run?

Maybe driven 20kms tops after a full tune?
