Help with oil

[rozaladdd]

Okay then so iv not long had my car and i have done loads of mods that i wish to do but now it needs some loving, so i tohugh i would start with some new oils so i had a look at the silko.... and there are loads.

Not knowing the previous owner, i dont know what oils have been used or last replaced so what oils should i replace what what ones shall i get and what size tubs will i need because there are different sizes to buy.

Oh i have a Vtr 02 plate

thanks !

Do a search fella, theres absolutely loads of stuff about this......

a good 10 or 5w/40 semi or fully syn will do it
only need about 3 litres i think for an oil change, but get a 5 litre to be sure

can tell if the oils new or old by the colour and smell, good practice to give the car a full service after you buy it if you dont know the dude you bought it off.

if your doing an oil change make sure you use engine flush aswell to keep the engine sweet :y:

3.5 litres of oil it takes its in the manual :)

how many miles are on it??

[rozaladdd]

just tuned over to 60,000 miles so i will only need to replace the main oil no other oils ?

may aswell change the gearbox oil mate, need 2 litres of that, pretty easy to do, im going to do mine soon

tbh if you dont know whats been done id do a service on it, e fuel filter, oil filter, plugs, gearbox oil, engine oil and air filter

may need your cambelt done too
