I use Motul 8100 X-Cess on my R33 GTR and I change it every 7000kms / 10 months. What about you guys!

How long is a piece of a string.

Every 3000 miles. 13 pints of glorious 20W-50!

New filter of course also. Check the rocker/stem clearnaces too while I'm at too. As well as the coolant, spark plugs, brake pads, fan belt adjustment/slack, suspension pressure. Sure there's more

every 5k. Shell helix ultra full synthetic.

depends upon how i drive it and for how long

If I am hitting the right hand pedal hard around town a lot i do it every 5,000kms

If i am easing on the right pedal and doing a mixture of out of town driving and in town driving it'll be every 7,500kms

If it is all long distance and easy on pedal it'll be every 10,000kms

Every 10,000km in the sentra ga16de.

I use Fuchs super GTO 10w40 now and the engine seems to like it.

Mine gets 8.4L of Syn Castrol edge every 15,000km whether it needs it or not!

trogedon, Feb 19, 11:25pm
Once a year whether they need it or not. Our family car probably does about 12k kms a year. I only did my motorbike oil/filter every 10k kms.

alltorque350, Feb 19, 11:36pm
Every 6 months. Even if it's only done 1000kms. Alot of $ invested in the V8, so it's like insurance.

Every 5,000km without fail due to the seasonal extremes in the climate where I live, plus peace of mind. Castrol Magnatec
