Self Servicing.

[Reedy]

Did an oil and filter change across the weekend, can anyone say anything about the potential harm from overfilling the MPS with oil? I've got it filled up to the max mark on the dipstick now but I know a lot of guys who race their cars intentionally overfill theirs to prevent oil surges causing the engine to run dry. Not sure if this is an option with the MPS or not.

Anyone care to comment?

Any reason why your car is being serivced so much? 10,000km is enough.

I use Penrite HPR 5 (5W40). It's a full synthetic, so really no need to change the oil early.

It's new, it's turbocharged and I track it regularly. I am getting it serviced every 6 months and am doing an oil change every 3, slightly pedantic but it does get driven hard.

It's new ain't a reason, it's turbocharged isn't either. But tracking it is. Do you hit the track monthly or something? IF you are happy to spend the little extra every service for your own peice of mind. Then good. But it probably not really required. Ever got an oil analysis done? Worth it if pedantic about your oil.

whats involved in a major service ?

[Reedy]

Whatever the logbook servicing dictates plus extras that I like to do more often like de-carbing the intake.

[Jrbris]

as in clean injectors or more than that ?
