The norm is to run a full synthetic oil after the car is run-in.Should get about 600ish kms out of a tank, depends on a myriad of things though. Tank is 68 litres assuming you're talking about a sedan, otherwise 74 litres in the utes.

Once I get it home it will get a proper service and good clean.thanks.

Guest Guests Posted 27/02/09 06:36 AM Share Posted 27/02/09 06:36 AM I'm assuming it's used if you think it may need an oil top up? If so, just ask the previous owner what's in it as mixing oils is a no-no Tyre pressures should be 35 - 36psi on the standard rims/tyres imo.

I picked it up and all is good, im putting pics in the newbie thread now.I didnt try to run it to the end of the tank but I averaged 9.0L/100km which seems reasonable with aircon on the whole time.
