3.0 litre V6 for the Commodore

I dare say the filter also looks like its an awkward spot to.

Why in gods name would they go back to that style of filter when the current v6 has a cartridge type mounted on the side/top area of the passenger head just under the engine cover. So bloody easy to change, no more than 1 minute if you know what a socket is

here's the 3.6 litre version rated at 227kw. read that this motor uses a cartridge style filter that looks like it's a little lower than the one on the 3.0 litre.

humm that serpentine belt looks like it would be a bitch to change

Its in the same place as our v6's which is a higher than the 1 on the 3L

GROSS
There is no replacement for displacement . I have only ever owned two cars. One is 5Litres other is 3.8Litres.

 

[.:Brad:.]

if it puts out the same amount of power and uses less fuel then i cant see many disadvantages........or maybe im not looking close enough:whistling

The way i see it going from the ecotec to the alloytec you needed alot more revs to go places do dropping engine sizes again regardless of di in such a fat assed car is going to need even more revs. Not terribly smart

that LLT motor is a basic copy of what the vz/ve use, although the heads and inlet manifold are different to accommodate the DI they make 227kw and 367nm? on 87 octane fuel, with an economy of around 9.2L 100km

that 3.0 motor is an alloytec derivative but is suited to fwd, so i doubt that will be used in the commo as it is staying rwd for much longer

I wouldn't have a problem with them using the 3.6di donk because it would totally **** all over previous holden 6's, if they go with the 3ltr that would be gay
