Ve sidi Sv6 Ute
Hi guys I'm looking at doing a full service on my sv6 sidi ute, could any one point me in the right direction to what I should do, I'm planing so far on replacing the oil, the coolant and flush, water, brake fluid, power steering fluid, cleaning air filter, brake pads, cleaning injectors and the intake cleaning?

Can anyone tell me what else I should do? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated :)

How many k's have you done?
When you bought the car, did it come with a owners manual and service booklet?
If you look in the service booklet, it will tell you exactly what should be serviced and checked.
It even tells you how long it should take.

I seriously cant belive the amount of people out there who dont read the onwers manual.
Seriously wtf!?!

I bought the car about 6 months ago so I'm just changing everything so I know it's right and can keep track on what needs changing and I looked in the Manuel and it just says the oil + oil filter and air filter so :)

Air filter would just be a paper throw away unlike the Holden price would suggest.

Actually it is not paper, it is white fluffy wool shite, that is supposed to be replaced every 45thou, yeah and cost 65 bux
For an SV6 sportwagon SIDI that is.

Hey guys dunno if anyone has done it in this post before but how did you get under the car to undo the sump plug I had a look to day and i can just reach it with my fingers so i imagine it will be even harder trying to undo it with a socket, the only things I can think of is stands at each end but that's a lot messing around for just one bolt or a hoist but believe it or not I don't have one haha anyone have so anyone got suggest on how to get under there easily and safely???
