26th October 2011. Oil change

Thats the car now changed over to Fully Synthetic Ester Oil. 5W-30 grade by FUCHES.

Also an HKS sports oil filter was used.

Its the small details that make the difference. The oil is race quality and is capable of sustaining highly tuned engines running high boost turbo chargers....perfect for the Tesco’s run!

You can see from the photo, the wires beside the filter, this is from the sandwich plate used to tap of the oil temperature sensor to give the oil temp at the sump. I had initially tried to remove the intercooler and fit this at No.3 cylinder however on the 2006 model it involves removing the throttle body, which is far too much effort!!
