Hello To Everyone!

You'll never change your Oil TOO often, an early change can't possibly do any harm and some T's drink a bit of oil during run in, so may as well change the oil at 1500

Thanks for the replies. Must agree that oil changes in a turbo car cannot be done to soon. What brands of semi-synthetic oil do people recommend?

15w-40 but what brands have people had good results with?

Then once run in what have people been using?

To all the Adelaide people Im in the North East of Adelaide!

Hi and Welcome,

I changed oil at 3000kms and have run Mobil one from that change.

Frequency of change is up to you and will also depend on whether you modify and how long you will keep the car.

For me I do an oil and filter change between each service so abouy 7500kms...

Hope your new T brings you much enjoyment!!

Cheers,

Ben.

I am very keen to hang on to the car for a long amount of time. This is the main reason I want to get a Run Out BA. So I know what has happened to the car from Day 1.

Does anyone know what oil ford use in the T before the first service?

Ant hints or tips with using the search function? I am new to this!

Thanks Leigh

Hi, welcome. Good to see another SA person on here.

I always prefer using the advanced search, I.e. click on Search then click on the "More Options" button. I find it easier to use than the basic search.

Thanks for the replies. At the moment looking for a good price on full comprehensive insurance. I am under 30 so I am getting the Turbo run around.

What companies have other younger members used?

I have found what seems a reasonable price with the RAA here in SA.

Cheers for the advise Leigh
