Man, you guys get in excess of 500km out of a tank? i'd be lucky to get 420km.
What's the go there?
Ill probably switch to OEM fuel filter next just to be sure. I didnt see anything unusual with the Ryco though.
Whens the last time your car has been serviced? I was getting pretty bad mileage before i changed the post above. I use BP Ultimate and granny shift at 2.5-3k rpms.Quote:

Noob question but how often should you change your oil filter?
Its best you change it every time you change your oil but its good for 10,000kms.
yea the log book has it every other oil change, doesnt hurt ethier way
I just do it for peace of mind more than anything else, plus Im under the car anyways and it's 5min extra to do the filter as well :D
Yep, that's fair enough. That's what I have to do this weekend :)
yea mine's up during my Sydney trip, was going to do it before I left but simply no time, lol
I went on the Penrite website and they gave the recommendation that I use HPR 15, which 15w-60. However, yesterday when I rang Honda they recommended the 10W-30.Quote:

You should use 10w-30 and move up based on climate and engine age. Thickest I would use is 10w-40. If you must use Penrite, go for HPR 5Quote:
