just ran rimula x in mine, changed it and filter every 5000, no drama.
There are no stupid questions, but there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots

rx super for me. I run in in the lawnmower too. If your motor is old it may clean it too well and make it more smokey

i use 20-40 in mine, and i usualy get mid price range oil, cept every 20,000ks ill get penzoil or the likes.


but yes, a good quality oil does clean the old girl a fair bit and its abit smokier when i run the penzoil

i make a note of oil change at 5000 on the . or less, and all ways use the same oil. Whether this makes any difference to the motor or not i don't know but was always told to keep the same oil, so this is what i have done. Probably does'nt make any diff on my old girl cause who no's the history but i do it any way.

HPR Diesel 20-60 in mine.

wish i was good on the 5K though.. generally somewhere between 5 to 10K mine gets done. Then i generally spend the whole day on it, underneath with grease gun and spanners etc... :lol:

Also if going on long trips, ill do a swap before if iam not too lazy, otherwise definitialy when i get back.

Always swap the filter with change. i generaly do the fuel/air filter once in a couple o years. Ive only gotten a new pre-cleaner once since new :roll:
Proberly bout time for one of them id recon :?

Diffs and trans get done roughly between 20-30K :armsup:
85 MK lwb 3.3td 2 inch body lift, 32inch simex Ironman 2 inch suspension lift. 4 tonne on the clock, original donk.
