turbos need more frequent oil changes

[harry3]

for those with VL turbos, remember that the handbook says you need to change the engine oil twice as often as normal, that is every 3 months under normal driving conditions

I found the oil fllter very difficult to remove,due to lack of clearance for the wrench handle finally a wrench with a handle that folds out made it possible but not easy, can anyone get their oil filter off and on easily?? In the old days they had a nut type thing on the back that you could put a spanner on

I would still like to know how bumpy the ride is with theharder FE2 suspension, fitted to most turbos, anyone been for a ride in a turbo and an ordinary VL?
It seems that VL turbos may eventually become classics and may be a good long term investment, dont know if the later conversions will qualify though

finally, if adding a turbo, get some insurance quotes, assuming you can find an insurer who wants to know you

i change my oil every 3 months and filter every 3 months

I do the same, An I also do my transmisson oil every 6 months.

I have a custom plenum on mine and now it is quite a mission to get the oil filter off.

I am considering going for a remote filter system.
