5000km services, hope you have deep pockets. Whilst I agree with the installation of pyro and EGT guages,I dont think that changing oils after 5000k's is very economical nor would it be efficient (maintenance induced faults), personally if you stick to keeping exhaust temps low therefore turbo temps low any good quality oil would easily last the 10,000km service requirement
although it not only the heat that kill the oil its also all the soot. I would be changing any diesel oil every 5k
I agre with top poast"s change oil & filter every 5000ks watch the temp my 2.8 sits just under half way. DO NOT PLAY WITH THE BOOST eg.. wind it up. Only the zd30 3.0lt go's boom with out warning.... change clutch to singel in stead of duel mass as they are real bad ! other then that enjoy your rig...
Once you block that "cough" EGR, You will have a lot less soot in your oil, meaning you can extend your services. I do mine about 7500kms and the oil is still reasonably goldish... Whereas before the block, she would go dark after 3000kms...
Hi do your oil changes every 5k, find a place like mr filter(they usually sell oils and things for trucks) you can buy oils and filters a lot cheaper than normal spare parts places only thing is they usually sell the oil in 20L drums but you use it up any way, Just an example i bought an oil filter from supercheap $28 at mr filter $18.
I will be doing a conversion on my GU and will have a DP chip for sale soon for the RD28.
You must have the 2.8 blues if you're doing a conversion. :smile:Quote:

Im with you XTC, my gu is a bit doughy on the road but of road its great, did consider a conversion but cant warrant the cost, am going to a 3 inch exhaust soon and see how it goes
It'll make it sound great, but not much else. Oh, the turbo might spool up a little earlier but not much. Buy it just for the sound anyway.Quote:
