Oil Changes

Post by Clarkie » Tue Mar 13, 2007 2:38 pm

What are the recommended oil changes between services if you are using the car on track?

Cheers

Depends how often you track it and how hard you drive.

I did mine every 4.5K, drove pretty hard but had the twin oil coolers...

With the K, I'd always aim for 2 TDs between changes. That was with the grenade tuned one though (and largely because it burned 2 changes between TDs) 8)

If there are no coolers on it and it's tracked a fair bit, I'd change pretty regularly - you can't do it too often (for anyone but your bank manager)
