I've got Gas

[goose2]

Hi guys,just got a vt2angus(berlina..just a little bit fancy) on gas .not having had gas b4(except bundy frts)is there any type of oil i should use, prev owner serviced it every 5000 religiously,plan to keep this service plan 295k on dash.Also climate gives a burst of cool air every now and again(also new toy for me) set at 21deg is this the norm.Cheers:hmmm::hmmm:

Keep the valve saver topped up mate. And make sure, if its duel fuel, you flick it over to fuel once or twice a week

thx vtkidd,running on ptrl for a while to lube things a bit,prev owner ran gas pretty permenant so a good run on juice is the call.

i was always told by a guy who works at impco (gas company) that its always best to start the car on petrol, then flick to gas after that... less wear and tear on the engine
i dont have a gas car so i dont know 100%, but like richokidd said mate, always best to run it on petrol at some time during the week

hope this helps mate

its a factory gas option(dealer fit)wont start/swap over in gear and starts on petrol then flicks over aparrently only thing holden book says is use 35ltrs a week fuel so it dos'nt go stale .no prob there.runs heaps beter on gas, maybe tuned for gas?.old vp went mon to thurs on 3/4 tank ,this one got to wed,put it down to "getting to know it"

its not the oil thats important its how often you change it ? years of converting cars to gas and servicing and repairs to cars ive seen little difference in using gas recommend oil and standard engine oils , just dont leave the oil changes to long 20000+ kms isnt good for any oil mineral or synthetic , every 5000 km is great and will help to prolong engine life , running your car once aweek on petrol is good , industry recommends using 30 litres per month and on long drives ie melb to sydney a run for 100km up and back will help
