oil change on alloytech

[06vzcalais]

Looking at doing my first service on an alloytech its due for its 120k service, what should i buy other than the obvious oil filter, oil and sump plug

You dont need a sump plug, there re-usable! just give it a clean before u put it back in.
Most likely you'll need, coolant, brake fluid, spark plugs these need chaning at 120000.

Check in ur service interval book under 120,000k Service. This tells u what needs doing, therefore you can determine what u need.

No worries, then. One less item to worry about.

ask Holden if they have a spare SPW kicking round, everytime I service an alloytec I ask them and the local boys always have a spare rubber washer there. Its just me, I prefer to change them.

Doesnt hurt to ask! Not the end of the world if they dont because they are designed to be reusable, but if you can score one free then even better

yeah mines due for its 120,000 very soon..was thinking about going down to autobahn and pricing everything up, read the service manual and its oil, filter, air filter, plugs and coolant flush. Was thinking about getting the irridium plugs and maybe a K&N panel filter, anyone think they are either worth it or am i just wasting my dollars?

[BXHD]

i have a k&n panel filter. i rekn it made a bit of difference. i also have the two hole mod and once the high flow filter went in, i could feel a difference in the higher revs, holds u to the seat a bit harder

[PaulSV6]

120000k for me is way off

Then again i might do the sparkies at around 70-75000.

oil change completed piece of cake cant believe i used to pay someone $250 to put crap parts and crap oil in my car. I used a K&N oil filter (came with a nice K&N filter casing to replace the original) and i also ordered royal purple oil for my next change (put penrite in this time), checked and cleaned plugs and cleaned my intake manifold while i was at it, might take to the intake side with a die grinder its a little bit messy. Been reading into a cp6 item but i dunno if the cost VS power is worth it

i personally wouldnt have wasted the money on royal purp, what grade did you get to cause i wouldnt get anything thicker than 10w-30 for an alloytec

theres a guy on here that put a cp6 on his adventra i think. pretty sure he said he got 20kwish

im a castrol oil man, nulon coolant and ryco or factory filter. iv got the platinum bosch plugs $129 from the local supercheap.

[06vzcalais]

i got 10W 30. I know drag racers that swear by Royal Purple. CP6 is around 3g not including postage i could strap on a bottle of giggle gas for far cheaper and get better results. ill do a little more research i may find small gains from just cleaning up the factory intake
