Same stuff.

I won't even use E10 in my Omega.

It is not a proven fact in Australia due to the high level of light in Australia. This was the very reason (no significant reduction in accidents) that brought about the deletion of the headlights on requirement for motorcycles, and in fact stopped the introduction of compulsory headlights on...

I think you will find that this was dropped a couple of years ago.

Tanduhay Export, a Philippine rum that regularly takes out one of the top 3 places in the world rum comps. Very hard to get in Aus, last bottle I bought cost $52.00, when I lived there we used to buy it for the equivalent of $2.20.

I bought an ex Telstra VE, had the lights on, it's definitely not a wiring mod it's in the computer. Took it to the local dealer and they charged/ripped me $105.00 to take it back to normal.

I use the Duragloss leather system on my leather Lazyboy recliners, magic stuff in my opinion.

Sorry to rain on your parade torana355. My Greenslip costs $320.00 and my comprehensive insurance with windscreen cover and an agreed value of $22,500.00 costs $610.00. My actual registration is free as I'm a self funded retiree. :)

I blow most of the water off with compressed air, then microfibre towel it. Towel hardly gets damp.

Just to set the record straight, the RTA handed the number plate side of things to private enterprise some years back. It's private enterprise ripping us off, the RTA is just collecting the fee for them.

Bloody hell, do I have to explain about shotgun pointed into chicken coop and a cold wet nose?

My daddy sleeps naked "Late again!" the third-grade teacher sternly said to little Johnny. "It ain't my fault this time, Miss Russell. You can blame this 'un on my Daddy. The reason I'm three hours late is my Daddy sleeps naked!" Now, Miss Russell had taught grammar school...

A young man married a beautiful woman who has previously divorced ten husbands. On their wedding night, she told her new husband, "Please be gentle, I'm still a virgin". "What?" Said the puzzled groom. "How can that be if you've been married ten times?" "Well, husband # 1...

Not that I support the current administration, but before you become so critical I suggest you have a look at some of the other major countries around the world. It might allow you to appreciate how healthy our economy actually is.

Own outright paid cash. I always buy low Km second hand, let someone else take the big depreciation hit.

Around the time when they were talking about bringing in compulsory helmets, the then President, not sure of the exact organisation, of the Professional Bike riders was dead set against the idea. He was man enough to admit in their national newsletter that after seeing a close friend get a...

Back in the 70's we had roughly half the population and 3 times the deaths that we have now. Your claim is about as logical as the rest of your statements.

Oh FFS get into the right section guys!

Grandpa and the ATO, The ATO (Australian Taxation Office) decides to audit Grandpa, and summons him to the ATO office. The ATO auditor was not surprised when Grandpa showed up with his Lawyer The auditor said, 'Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full-time employment, Which...

I've had the inside of my car rattle from high volume subs. Not mine, the car with the subs was 2 cars in front of me.:)

I'd be very surprised if your '07 Omega does not have seat side airbags.

Repco have had the Edge Sport on special to clear it out but the new Edge Titanium 5W 30 is going for $69.95/5L at most places. I'm using it and like it. Be aware that the Titanium 5W-30 is an SL rated oil due to its Phosphorus level. It apparently is actually a lot higher rating in other...

Did an oil and filter change last weekend, went with Castrol Edge Titanium 5W-30, don't know what was in it before. It's definitely not my imagination but the motor is quieter and feels different, as in it seems smoother and slightly more responsive. SWMBO drives it too and has the same opinion.

I do my own. Even when my car goes in for a service I specify "Do Not Wash & Do Not Paint The Tyres".

I think I might try that.:rofl2::rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:

Chickens feet when we have Yum Cha.

According to my handbook and Castrol Techline, an SL rated oil is OK by Holden in my car.

OK I've just clarified the situation with Castrol Techline. Firstly, my apologies to Bluessv. The Australian Castrol Edge Titanium is an SL oil, and the US oil is a different formulation so disregard the US spec sheets. Secondly, it is fully approved for use in the 3.6L V6 alloytec VE engine...

The following is straight off the Castrol Product data sheet. Warranty and Protection Requirements: Exceeds engine manufacturer’s warranty requirements for applications requiring ILSAC GF-5, GF-4 and GF-3 and/or API SN, SM and SL. Also meets Dexos 1 requirements.

Does anyone have feedback on this oil? Was going to put Edge Sport in the beast but have found that Castrol have changed to this stuff now, nice and pricey too at around $70.00/5Ltr.

In a similar situation, using the same gear as you, I also used Duragloss 652 pre-cleaner No2 after the clay bar. This removed any swirl marks and a few light scratches, and left a baby bum smooth surface for the rest of the process. Give 2 coats of the 105 with 12 hours between coats. Use...

Well actually it was a Telstra Fleet Car from Orix, all services done? by Suttons. It did 50,000K in the first 2 years. Will slip some Castrol Edge Sport 5W-30 and a new filter into it and get the 60,000 service when it rolls round.

Thanks Mate.

Thanks TinSnips but I'd already looked that up. So you are suggesting I get a 60,000 service, which covers a hell of a lot of things, only 5,000K after a Suttons service?

My Omega is just 3 years old with 55,000K on the clock. Last service, previous owner, was at 50,000K by Suttons 12 months ago. Had a look at the Manual and am a bit confused as to what I should get serviced. Should I just get a standard 65,00K service or should I get things done by age? If...

Autobarn have a special on the Gerni 100.2 at the moment. $109.00

I'm bloody happy with mine and I'm a fussy bastard.

Forcing your engine to run below 2000RPM all the time will shorten the life of your big end bearings.

You're corrected Hussy. My '08 MY09 Omega has Sport Mode Button, makes a big difference in tight windy hills.

I always thought that was what the tacho told you.
