I was in a rush the other day and just wanted to get back on the road... which i am not yet....would it be okay to be on fresh oil with the old filter for say 1000-2000 KM, or play it safe jack the front up as high as i can, try and not lose to much oil and put the fresh filter on. |

Should've waited tbh if you still not back on the road anyway. If you have not started the engine since oil change you should not lose any really if a dribble I'm sure________________________________________ cherry rallye daily (the money pit) |

If you havent run it, just change the filter, the only oil you should lose is any thats left in the filter. ________________________________________ Team Running Engine again!Team Negative Camber! My Budget track engine build thread! Now appearing at a Trackday near you!!  |

Castrol edge 5w40 fully synthetic, i think i should have gone 5W30 as we are just going into summer.did the transmission fluid with CASTROL MANUAL VMX-M 75W-85, just from my little drive this morning feels amazing. from just looking it up they do a fully synthetic equivalent of that transmission fluid, "CASTROL SYNTRANS 75W-85" i put a liqui-moly engine flush through it before the change, and will be running an injector cleaner through the fuel once i am back on the road, (new fuel filter before or after this?) |

I don't know what the factory spec is on your car, but I wouldn't go 5W30, the GTI-6 factory spec is 10w40 semi-synth or 5W40 full synth and your engine should be similar. I'd stick with the factory spec, and on an engine that is 15 years/150K km old in a hot climate like Oz could even go a little thicker (5W50 or 10W50), but not thinner. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |
