Hi guys

Picking up my 03 coupe on Friday and want to change the oil that day.

What do you guys use and how many litres will I need?

Thanks

HI jo,

I just bought a 5lts bottle of CASTROL EDGE 0w-50. That's the best oil you can buy for that price, I got 20% off AUD69 when they got a sale in super cheap auto. If you don't do track a lot or crazy stuff, this oil should be good enough for you, safe fuel and runs smoother. Some of the boys here use more expensive stuff like Motul.

do you really have to take off the whole plastic undertray thing to change the oil in the V35s?

Makes it easier and cleaner. I did mine by taking the screws out on the oil drain plug side only, but it can get messy.

If you're simply replacing the oil only you can leave it on, but if you doing the filter you definately need to remove at least half.

And i would recommend changing the filter as well.

Paragon-

To change teh oil filter you dont need to take off the under tray AT ALL - take the driver side wheel off- it's quicker and easier.

Thankyou. you saved me heaps of time. Shame the filter got stuck on :) . Oh well the screw driver trick to the rescue. And for next time i used the k&n oil filter with the nut on the end to save me future grief :(.

well faaark me..this method actually works(??).

I'm about to do mine, (when I get her back from the mechanics for gearbox/doorlocks replaced/rotors and pads).

I've never let a mechanic do my oil, and now I can continue this trend on the 35, easier! (I hope!)

I will utilise this method!...sounds ace!.,.....!!!!!!!

A big thankyou!

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
