Servicing VR6

UPDATE!

A mate assured me Supercheap had them since he was sitting watching Bathurst with two employees, so down I went and no they dont

On the way home I stuck my head in AutoOne, the one place I hadn't thought about. The guy says no, but his other AutoOne 5 minutes down the road does... so at about 5 minutes to closing I got a 36mm 1/2 inch drive socket for $35

Looks like the oil might be changed under lights, but at least it's still getting done today!

And Done, new oil, new filter. NICE

The old oil filter was a Mahle, which didn't come out too bad, although it could only be 3 months old. The oil was nice and black.

The oil filter housing drain screw wouldn't come out, but oh well, just ment I got a little more oil on my hands.

For those that are interested this is the oil I used:


I now have to wait till either SuperCheap get more in or find another store that sells it so I have some spare for when it starts to run low.

Interesting... Went down to SuperCheap to get some more oil today so I could top her up. Seems the "Bathurst 1000 Special" price I paid of ~$40 was rubbish since I paid $39.95 today. Sadly I can't find the receipt to confirm... maybe it was $38.95 on that weekend. Bah.

Oh well, at $40/5L it's not all that expensive really for what is supposed to be a very good oil.

Supercheap has to be the most useless
of the spare parts people the employees don't know much,
they don't have any parts, they are not cheap.... just useless

Lol, I agree but I get a 20% discount there so they're not entirely useless
