JimO Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Hi all Just had my roadster a few days now, and now have a few questions regarding oil! 1. What pressure is normal in normal driving conditions and rest, etc? 2. What oil should I be using for an oil change? Are there any group buys, or do you have Oilman round these parts as well! 3. How much oil does it drink, I regulary check my cars oil, but being a new car I don;t know what I should be looking for in terms of how much it gets through? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Try PMing oilman (really) Yes Opie are around these parts too, so you can still get good quality stuff at a good price. He will let you know what you need. As for using oil, mine hasnt used a drop between services for 2yrs now. I check regularly, but it doesnt ever drop noticably.

Stew Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 For an oil change including filter I think it's 4.7l that is required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
