vdub_pete 15 Posted June 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Yea think i can get that what grade tho? so thats like 300km ish should i do oil change after that or leave it longer? I'd normaly do oil change every 8,000km 5,000 miles ish or every year what ever comes first. Link to post Share on other sites
Antihero1981 8 Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 well i would just use 10w40 , change the oil after you have run it in as it would have some swarf in it prob from running it in , so you want that out on a normal vr6 with average milage i would say once a year , if it gets used and abused then maybe sooner. i change mine every 6 months but i am running a super charger Link to post Share on other sites
