Just do multiple oil and filter changes within a few kms, like a day's worth of driving, or around the block of eachother. Depends if u wanna do 2 oil changes in a day or not. haha. Also stay away from "engine oil flush" additives...rumor has it they no good for the motor. Have fun.

correct me if im wrong but from what i have read, having black oil is good.. it means its actually doing its job.. alot of the good oil have additives that clean ur engine so it would be suspended in oil for your next service.. having clean looking oil doesnt necessarily mean clean engine etc.. 2c worth

The only reason why people would get shitty about using an engine flush is that when they are used, they will remove a lot of carbon buildup on the piston rings, which in some cases is the only thing that is sealing the compression of the motor from worn rings. They're actually quite effective.

Drop your oil. Fill it with new oil, run it in with an engine flush and then drop it again, if its doing its job properly it will be black as. So that when you fill it once more it should be fine

Mate best way is to use engine flush then drop oil

and maybe repeat process once if fussy depends

on how badly fouled it is inside the engine.With my

car I change it every 3000km and after every track

day with out fail.This is a must if you want a good

reliable engine, oil is cheap rebuilds are expensive.

I have personally seen cam sharfts snap in 2 through

lack of oil changes.Always use full synthetic oil and

you can repeat your engine flush every time you change

your oil just to be safe in get it back to square one.My

oil after 3000km is just starting to lose its colour,you

have to remember that these cars see alot of revs

and take a huge amount of heat.Hope this helps

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
