How many L's of oil for 1 yr?
So I want enough oil to see me through for another year.
Or at least 6 months. Ok 6 months. How many L's? I say this because John Newell in Sydney is running them at 45$ for 5L and I want to stock up on them and save some $$. I find that my 8 drinks oil. I topped her up one week ago and she has gone through from just above half on the dipstick to almost at the low mark. :0 Filled her up with about 1.5L I think. Yes I know I can do the calculations. It's 6L a month which is almost 7x5L bottles for 6 months. How much oil does everyone else use? |
PS I just ran a search and there are a couple threads on oils.
I don't want to be a slacker and spam the forum so mods may delete this if they wish. Of course it wouldn't hurt to leave it. :hahano: |
wow 45$ for 5l of oil? that's expensive man...move to america
|
That's $45 Aust my friend. Equates to about $9.86 US.

Depends an how hard you drive the thing. Oil is metered out dependant on the rpm....high rpm, more oil.
I'd go through a five litre bottle in 20,000kms....a bottle a year. |
I change it too many time that would not care.
The oil pressure max out at 510kPa and idle at 120kPa. Would 510kPa use more oil? I betcha. |
I've had the rx8 for 9 months and in that time gone through 2/2.5 bottles.

I use 1L between services (10K)

And anything that gets pimps out of Caddys and Hummers has to be good. :wink2: :rollingla |

Easy as......filter is a bit of a pig to get off....other than that...it's not worth what Mazda charge!!!! :cwm27: Car now got Castrol special Edge oil in it.......happy with that...yes i am....saved myself.....megabucks and all genuine parts...... :hahano: :hahano: :kiss: |

Much easier for topups between services (i.e. you can pick up a 1 litre bottle of Edge or similar from any servo). |
