oil filter

huge · June 29th, 2009, 08:57

how often should i change the oil/filters? I know its a issue with turbochargers. but 6 months? 12 months?

Also if ive given the car a good run how long should i keep it ideling before switching the engine off? can i get away with a couple minuets "warm down " as i near home instead and aren't turbo timers illegal? The new exhaust sytem has really made a difference and I just dont want to f**k the car up because of ignorance.

Oh and if anyone can let me know why the sky is blue and where babies come from and who opened thier car door into my rear offside then i think i'll be set!

change the oil and filter every 3 - 6k miles ideally depending on how you drive the car.

i usually just drive off boost for a couple of minutes max before getting home so i can switch the car straight off and not upset the people living round my garage.

my turbo timer never runs for more than 1 minute when i do use it though,

sky is blue? i thought it was pink.

unlucky about the rear quarter panel

Turbo timers can invalidate your insurance apparently too, just so u kno.

greedy turbo timers work by revs unlike hks turbo timers that are set on a predetermind time
i.e if your in or over 3000rpm it will record for how long then determain how long the warm down will be

wen i brought my car back from the pod an pulled in to services it run for over 6mins
i think a turbo timer is well worth the cash
