Doing My Own 10,000kms Service.

[BIT SUS]

hey guys (and gals)

ive got a S1 RS260 with 73,xxx kms

I need to service the beast for the first time before i head away on a long trip soon.

I would like to do oils and filters.

what i need to know is the following:

whats the best oil to use for the motor? ----how many litres exactly will i need?

whats the best oil to use for the diffs? ---- how many litres exacly will i need for each diff?

im gonna put some redline shockproof oil in the gearbox, again, exactly how many litres will i need?

does anyone have a part number for the oil filter?

does anyone have a part number for a Fuel Filter?

Is there anything else i should be changing?

oh, and how do the nismo strut tops work? they have a little black knob with number 1-4 on them, which is the hardest setting?

cheers guys, any help appreciated.

this is going to sound arsey, but a quick read through the DIY thread answers almost all of those questions - perhaps not the nismo struts question..

have fun with your service

well i'm not doing it, the mechanic is, but i'm supplying all the parts and he is doing the hard labour.

its technically a 5,000kms service, but considering its taken me so long, might as well do the fuel filter and other things as well.

I got an 100 000 km service done on my S2 a few weeks back before I headed south to Albury from Brisbane.

From memory, I had the following done:

Timing belt,

Oil,

Oil filter,

Coolant flushed & replaced,

Spark plugs,

Water pump,

Belts checked (none needed replacing)

Hoses checked (none needed replacing)

All up including labour cost me $821. I was quoted a $1000 for it.

What you're saying sounds more like a 5000 km or 10 000 km service.

adam .... i was told somthing about bearings also .... 2 of them front and rear ?

i was shown a both of them that came of a r33 at around 98k. and looked stuffed compared to the new ones.

probably the idle tensioner bearings. its a good habit to change them at the same time as a timing belt.

whats the best oil to use for the motor? ----i use castrol edge sport 5w40

how many litres exactly will i need? 5

whats the best oil to use for the diffs? there is a castrol diff oil on the market

how many litres exacly will i need for each diff? about 1.5 from memory

im gonna put some redline shockproof oil in the gearbox, again, exactly how many litres will i need? do a search/see what comes out

does anyone have a part number for the oil filter? mine is a ryco 145a... but would be diff for the 26 i rekn

does anyone have a part number for a Fuel Filter?

Is there anything else i should be changing? the intervals of servicing... its a high end turbo car... 5000km is a good idea, and putting it off needs to b changed aswell

did mine today, new number plates, new globes, key battery (1620 if any one need to know)

the dudes at repco marden are very helpful +1 for them! and dude ur a Dh rider prety sure u can undo 1 bolt to drop ur oil!

i have mechanics and team managers to do that for me

nah just kidding. blew the clutch tonight so looks like i'll just be doing the oil, filter, fuel filter and maybe the coolant.

hopefully score myself a decent clutch at a good price from my good mates....
