EP3 Type R

[doosra]

Quick question that's been on my mind for when I service the car. I assume most ep3's don't come with log books. Do you guys just not worry about these? I've always had log books with my other cars so just curious.

Hi, new user interested in buying an ep3r, but i would like to ask a few questions about them...

How much are the running costs? (Servicing, insurance etc)
What is the availability of spare parts of the car? [very important]
Any problems prone for the ep3 that I should watch out for when inspecting one?

thanks,

I usually just keep reciepts from my service, my mechanic lists out specifically what has been done and checked, needs to do in the future and stuff.

Maybe try n get your hands on a copy of a used ep3r service manual. That way u can see what parts need replacing at particular intervals. Or alternatively you can follow the log of a dc5r/s?

Currently running Redline 5w-30 - burns a bit too quickly for my liking (have to top up every 1000kms or so) but runs quite well. Previously run Castrol Edge which was ok but is now totally overpriced.

castrol edge 5w30 burns a bit quickly to. i reckon its because its a 30 weight. been hearing alot of other k20s use 40 weight fir theres, specially in summer.

ive yet to ask Dede which oil he put in last service

off the top of my head, Dedy uses 5-40 valvoline full syn, if you dont bring your own oil to do your service

I'm thinking of trying Nulon 10w-40 next time.. decently priced at $65 per 6 litres from supercheap..
