Yes, it will last 10,000kms for sure

5000km changes? Bullshit.

10,000km with a Group V oil is no problem... unless you are tracking it.

yes well from the troubles i been having lately, im not being a penny pincher and am doing it every 5000km.

i agree with 10k services. 5000km is overkill for a street driven car

really?

why are all the performance shops saying every 5-7000kms a service should be done especially being a turbo charged vehicle?

fact that im going for a tune on wednesday change anything? or ...

because people pay over $200 per oil change at a performance shop.

do an oil change before the tune

no but this is a performance shop knowing that I'dd do it myself..

yeh theres no oil in the car.. once the turbo goes on im doing a flush, then putting some new oil in, then driving that up to get some Sougi 6000 or whatever it is.. n changing it the night before :) sounds right?

AFAIK Sougi 6000 is gone...well Birds doesn't sell em anymore. Are u leeching off Scotty's stash? :teehee:

If Chrono 300V is 120 per change then I might as well do that...considering I'm paying $80 for Mobil 1 which needs to be changed every 5k...

And the fact that most performance workshops use a generic oil.

At best you can expect Mobil 1 (which certainly isn't bad, but it is no Group V oil)

so im guessing theyd be under the impression im using mobil or equivelent?

makes sense now. would it make a difference for when/after i tune? or is it dependant on how heavy my foot is...

its because workshops live on services, its their bread and butter. no offence intended to any workshop, but if you convince people they need a service every 5000km, they probably will

when JDM S15s came on the market, the dealers (import dealers) were saying they need 5000km services because they are imports. tell me why the same car was sold locally and needed 10000km oil changes?

wasnt this a completely different tune to the ones that were sold here?

but whats your saying does make sense.. but will my circumstance change after the tune??

no but its good to have fresh oil in there when they rev the shit out of your car for a few hours :)

however, if you have to change plugs, do it after the tune as they will probably be fouled and you dont want to do that to a fresh set of plugs

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By PranK · Posted

      I once hit my knee on an exhaust on my sisters Suzuki Sierra after she drove it her *normal* way. My knee looked like porridge for weeks. Bec and my daughters never go near this car. I can see one of my dogs losing an ear though. 🤔

      Nice, love a good GTS-t.  IMHO the factory body kit with the 'aero' front bumper is perfect. Can't improve on it unless it's a GT-R. But it looks like you changed it to the normal bumper?

      Easy solution to both of those. Put a split bit of garden hose on each one. Attractive and practical!

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      So I guess the next thing to do will be to discuss whether to create a new section of the forums to hold the library (boo hiss?), somewhat undoing the recent tidy up, or if there is a bolt on wiki module for Invision? (I must profess ignorance as to what has been done, what it might cost, etc. I have only briefly googled and seen discussion on adding it.) Or is a wiki even the best way to do what I'm talking about? It possibly isn't. Given that we're trying to re-display forum content, it probably needs to be presented as forum content in forum format, and a wiki would probably struggle with that. A wiki might still be the best way to do some other things, so I'll keep the idea simmering if we don't use it here. Back to the library as "part of the forums". Would we do a single new library? Or put a library thread in each section? Pluses and minuses for each of these, surely. Would we do as I originally suggested, and make the first post in the library be the total of the library, with any reply posts just being the inputs and suggestions I originally posited? Or would we allow posts to accumulate one after the other, each containing additions to the library? Maybe the first post is still an index or something. It's all sounding horribly more manual and messy than my original brain fart. But I hope there's some other good ideas floating around - because every time I come up with a new one of my own I immediately see problems with it.

      Tips look fine to me......but Boring stuff: Legalities - Vehicle standards notes that exhausts cannot extend to a point where they could cause injury Scary stuff: Mrs cuts open her shin putting stuff in the boot (ensure you have some bandaids and shiny jewellery handy)
