SV6 service

[kuzman89]

Where's the best place to buy oil filters for the VE alloytec (MY09) ? It's out of warranty now so going to do my own services. It's approaching it's 75k service, what else will need to looked at apart from oil? Pretty sure the next major service is 90k.

Hi mate,

I would still buy your genuine one form Holden, it will most likely be only a couple of dollars more in any case, plus as its genuine, so piece of mind,

cheers

[IMCRZY]

Your sevice booklet will know doubt have a list in it, that will tell you everything you will need to do

[HEXEM]

As Cruzer pointed out. The OEM oil filters are quite good and easy to get.

And as mentioned look in your service booklet for what needs to be checked and serviced. Airfilter is probably a good idea each service. If it hasn't been done yet, look to changing the transmission fluid also. You may need to get that done elsewhere though, could be a messy job.

cheers guys! I'll look through it. I spose I'll go down to Holden tomorow and get all the pieces I need. I think I'll stick to the recomended oil. I think it's Castrol. Any opinions??

[mitchelljdunne]

hey mate

ive just brought 20Ls of castrol edge 10w60

ive been doing alot of reading and searching and have found that the edge is real good shit.

if your in a cooler climate, go the 5w30

[astroham]

Its definately castrol magnatek that they use in them at holden ... as for parts why dont you try repco or scotts auto 1 or somewhere like that ... in all my old cars they have always had the parts i need as far as services are concerned

[kuzman89]

Cheers guys, it's pretty fkn cold in melbourne lately might stick with 5w30 then. And yeah I'll check out repco tomorow.
