my name is keith i,m from W.A

never had a tarago before..1994 gli..nice vans

how do you get to the spark plugs and oil change....it has a oil tank under the bonnet..do i fill it there or under the passenger seat

thanks....

how much oil???

any performance tips

Drain the oil and change the filter...

Then fill it up from under the passenger seat (should be 5.5 - 6.5 Litres I THINK - Don't quote me on this)...

Put in 5 litres, start it up for 2 mins, turn it off and check the level... Top it up as necessary...

Once you've reached the full line on the dipstick, then top up the oil resorvoir under the bonnet till you reach the full line...

This seperate tank is used as an oil reserve if needed...

Also, with your spark plugs, you'll have to remove the drivers seat, the carpet and the engine covers to get to the spark plugs...

plugs are $25 each..must be gold???/

Platinum Plugs that last 100,000kms are $25 each...

Or you can use normal ones that last 40,000kms for $10 each lol...
