How many klm on ur vr vs commy motor

330000 With inlet manifold gaskets and a water pump. I use Penrite 15W60 Full synthtic and i service every 8000. My car sees the redline atleast once or twice a day and has done since 250000 and its still runs quiet and smoothly... Now ive jynxed myself -_-

 

stupid thread, this was only discussed around a week ago, do a search before starting new threads.

 

350+ (broken odometer) but service every 5000-7000 with oil,oil filter, air filter, and sparkplugs
replased thermostat waterpump front harmonic balancer( crank puley) and yeah still going good
does have a lifternoise though

 

308,000km, nothing major yet, only done cas and air filter, oil change when I can be shagged
I usually use penrite as I use it in the old holden swell and it's the beat I've used.
It sees the redline on occasion, used to get it a few times a day just cos, but since I'm doing more miles, it doesn't happen very often anymore.

Got consumption down to a little under 11l/100kms with 70% highway.

 

My 95 VS exec has done around 450,000 km now, the engine has done around 200,000 km since Ive had the car. The engine was a reconditioned engine from redlands engines in brisbane, the reciept from where the engine was fitted shows the engine cost around $2400 and was fitted by some mechanics in gunnadah NSW. Not too sure about the auto trans, it still shifts etc just as good as the day I got the car, so I dont know if its the original box or not. I drive it like a manual a lot of the time. Theres no mention of fitting a transmission on the garage reciept either.
The car gets driven pretty hard every day really. In saying that, I also service it regularly, engine oil and filters every 5000 km, auto filter and fluid every 20,000 km. I only use mobil 1 5W-50 engine oil. Ive replaced just about everything mechanically on the car, all the usual stuff that wears out. The guy that passed it for its rego inspection the other day was pretty suprised when he got back from doing the brake test, he commented to me that its one of the best cars he's driven for its age, he said he's driven a lot of newer cars that didnt drive half as good.. The car is not a real lot to look at, Ive just kept it completely standard as I like my car to be different from other VS's.

 

230 kays. Not 230,000 lol. Car has done 69,000.

 

Mine-190 000ks
Mates dads vr- 370 000ks

 

I remember driving an ex taxi years ago (VT 3.8) that was only like a year or two old. It had 450K on it. Still drove like it was new.

 

I had a VR do 375k before an accident. Trans lasted 300k and head gasket was done at the same time

Another VR had 388k on original Motor and Box then sold it

 

My vs exec v6 166,xxx new radiator, thermostat, 1 transmission line, wiper motor and indicator stalk

 

Just ticked over the half a million and still all original. I love my vs. I'm going for the 750 000

 

148,000kms, all original apart from a new CAS. Heaps left in her by the sound of it, these engines are pretty solid.

 

215,000 k's
Piston slap on cold mornings. Otherwise she's fine.

5000k oil changes now. 20w50 Valvoline Maxlife.

 

Vs executive series 1 1995

around 300,000 (odo stopped at 285,000 in February i was told)

replaced: water pump, inlet manifold gasket, dfi module, thermostat, cam sensor, ignition barrel assembly, battery

obviously i replace the spark plugs/leads and filters when needed

oil / filter every 5000, i use nulon 5W30 full synthetic oil

car was missing, stalling, lacking power in acceleration and sometimes not starting when i bought her (4 months ago)

after replacing these things + some tlc, shes running like new

 

Mine has 242,000 on it now, I have owned it since it was 12 months old, water pump replaced once and just replaced original radiator, drop oil out of her every 10,000 klm and trany serviced every 80,000 klm as recommended by Holden.
It is the best car I have owned up to date and have no intentions of buying another.

 

178350 as I sit in it now. Have had from new, on 3rd gearbox (auto) nothing major with motor.

 

My Calais has 312xxx and ha all the wear and tear.
The engine was replaced by the guy I got her off, it's got about 150xxx on it.
Transmission was original and was going strong.

Service every 2500 km ( hard driving / dirt roads / dodgy fuel )
Leads, filters, plugs, oil etc.

 

165thou with possibly everything needing to be fixed. Rocker gasket needs to be done. Runs like **** some times. Noisy lifter. I hope it is anyway. I use some oil can't remember the name. Oil change was about 6 months ago and has traveled aprox 200kms?
