Title: Oil /filter.
Post by: amigov6 on 31 January 2008, 21:10:43
Due another oil & filter change. Been using Magnatex but some members swear by Vx's own oil. What is it called again please? & how much should i pay for how many litres? Also how much oil do the V6's take from drained as a 4 or 5 ltr can seems not to be enough & needs topping up afterwards. How much will Vx charge for the filter? I could save a little buying it elswhere but the petrol would offset the saving.
    I have a Vx stealer in Immingham.
      New Chevrolet anyone?!!!!! ::)

Get an ABS trade card for £20 .. you can then buy 20 litres of Vx finest for about £28 .. as they are doing 4 for 3 on trade card... you have just saved more than the £20 on your first use !!

Ok so i get the Trade Card.
    A:- What does that give me @ Vx?
    B:- What is the oil i need called? For some reason the words "double" & "Red" ring a bell. Think i've asked before but forgot.
  Remember you're being patient for my Mig not for me!
   Sorry for being hard work! 100k, gotta nurse her along now! [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]
