Every 5000Ks?! :o Serious? i love my stivo too, only do high reving street driving n no track work but i can't afford a service for every 5000K....i'd be doing that like every three months!!
Wen u say hard...how hard is hard?
when u say service every 5000km i assume you are implying, topping up fluids and oil change + filter.
I have 56,000km on my sportivo and use mobile 1 fully synthetic since 1000km run in. and i've checked my oil after 9000km and has still been golden. now i dunno a great deal about engine oil but from wut i understand is this, if its gold keep it in, if its black drain it out. surely there coudlnt be an outstanding difference between the two, i mean obviously the fresh stuff is always gonna be better but if its barely even changed colour.. just dont see the point
Keep in mind our cars are revving @ 8,000rpm at times lol. I'm paranoid about protecting them. The S2000 boys are the same (their redline is @ 8,750).
