Amjad Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 It's worth doing it yourself seeing as Turbo's should have oil changed every 3000 miles I serviced my car for the first time a few weeks ago, really easy! The only tricky bit was getting the old oil filter out Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The only tricky bit was getting the old oil filter out its a piece of piss to remove wiv a filter wrench , and trust me its alot easier to do it yourself what you planning on changing is it just oil??? , or sparkies, ht leads, dizzie etc. all very easy and can be all done it 20mins, just have to wait for all the oil too drain Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dan Evans Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Id do it yourself mate, buying a car like this you have to know what your doing with it, if you take it to some grease monkey, he could charge you a fortune in labour, etc, and bullshit on problems with the car etc.. If you cant change filters yourself, id say you have chosen the wrong type of car to go to a garage with.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GlanzaKidB77 Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 What good quality oil can i get from sumwer local 2 me (halfords or summit)? And where can i get a new oil filter from excactly?Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Evans Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Mahn filter number is W68/1, ask them to cross that number and they will have a fram one on the shelf.10/40 oil is perfct for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dan Evans Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 mate, go into halfords with the number W68/1, and ask them to cross reference it into there computer, they will tell you which one to go for. And get yourself some Mobil 1 10/40, job done Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott-EP Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 its best to learn how to do stuff mate if not you will be chucking so much money at garages!Personally i would put 5/30 oil in it, I only put 10/40 in Diesel's, or car's that have done 100k miles + I've also got the Original Toyota sticker under my bonnet saying to put 5/30 in ithttp://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/...m_vc=IOV4PDPZ1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
