Engine oil change schedules for performance cars.

You spent a lot of time and effort tuning and enhancing the performance of your car. You want to keep the car in peak condition and dread a visit from Mr Breakdown! How important is a maintenance schedule for your tuned car? We shall look at the importance of oil changes in this first of our maintenance articles.

How to do an oil change

An oil change is one of the best maintenance tasks you can perform. Regular changes of oil will prolong the life of your engine and reduce expensive maintenance on moving parts.

Garages will charge for this service and it is a simple job you can do yourself. We also note that many garages (3 in 5 we tried) filled up with too much oil with one managing to put a whole litre too much in. Then one garage failed to top the oil up to the min level on the dipstick. So in our experience only 1 in 5 garages filled the oil up to the correct level on the dipstick.

The only way to guarantee a proper oil change is done is to do the job yourself.
