Yes, it will last 10,000kms for sure

5000km changes? Bullshit.

10,000km with a Group V oil is no problem... unless you are tracking it.

yes well from the troubles i been having lately, im not being a penny pincher and am doing it every 5000km.

i agree with 10k services. 5000km is overkill for a street driven car

really?

why are all the performance shops saying every 5-7000kms a service should be done especially being a turbo charged vehicle?

fact that im going for a tune on wednesday change anything? or ...

because people pay over $200 per oil change at a performance shop.

do an oil change before the tune

no but this is a performance shop knowing that I'dd do it myself..

yeh theres no oil in the car.. once the turbo goes on im doing a flush, then putting some new oil in, then driving that up to get some Sougi 6000 or whatever it is.. n changing it the night before :) sounds right?

AFAIK Sougi 6000 is gone...well Birds doesn't sell em anymore. Are u leeching off Scotty's stash? :teehee:

If Chrono 300V is 120 per change then I might as well do that...considering I'm paying $80 for Mobil 1 which needs to be changed every 5k...

And the fact that most performance workshops use a generic oil.

At best you can expect Mobil 1 (which certainly isn't bad, but it is no Group V oil)

so im guessing theyd be under the impression im using mobil or equivelent?

makes sense now. would it make a difference for when/after i tune? or is it dependant on how heavy my foot is...

its because workshops live on services, its their bread and butter. no offence intended to any workshop, but if you convince people they need a service every 5000km, they probably will

when JDM S15s came on the market, the dealers (import dealers) were saying they need 5000km services because they are imports. tell me why the same car was sold locally and needed 10000km oil changes?

wasnt this a completely different tune to the ones that were sold here?

but whats your saying does make sense.. but will my circumstance change after the tune??

no but its good to have fresh oil in there when they rev the shit out of your car for a few hours :)

however, if you have to change plugs, do it after the tune as they will probably be fouled and you dont want to do that to a fresh set of plugs

lol too late i've already changed then about 50km before the turbo died.. so they're new.. Cihan advised to change em prior :blink:

yeh i know aboout the revving... not sure if i wanna witness this lol

Same here. He mentioned its so he doesn't have to hunt down a fouled plug during the tuning process...

yeh. although my plugs in the car were pretty new, they were changed on complianced which im told is rare..

good!

i guess he needs a driveline upgrade soon lol

yeh so i heard, which is why mines getting a shift kit installed on monday.

exact words from the RVO guy. "i'm going to up the line pressure as much as possible without breaking shit"

hahahaha.. good enough for me..

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
