Don't forget to change the oil filter. And don't use a halfords one as I had one shit the bed on me.

Don't worry Mark I've just ordered one from Lynsey Ford, be here this avo!

Do you know any good places to get oil, and what do you use?

Every place I try they said they have never heard of 10W 50 / 15W 50 oils!!

i love it when people try and teach me about stuff i already know about and get it wrong or back to front,i bet Mr M has had some corkers over the years.
i still smile about the rsturbo i bought from a auction that had gone through and was being taken back and i negotated a deal outside the premises which is naughty but i wanted to go for a drive to make sure all was well and it wasn't it coughed and farted on boost but ticked over mint and never rattled or smoked so i used the coughing and farting as a excuse to get it cheep, the car salesman told me it was like that because it was "Chipped to Fuck " that still makes me smile does that

I agree with mr turbo systems get it as close to maximum as possible don't forget maximum is right at the tolerance aloud and doesent have to be on it

Good luck in getting the filter off they have always been very tight when i have taken them off

I used 10w 40 as recommended by auto-data in a 3Dr i had, it did effect the oil pressure when hot it was much better with a 50 grade in it
