Im planing on servicing the car every 6000 miles, so its now due for an oil change... Fully synthetic oil etc... As im not an experienced gt4 owner,
What else needs changed when i do this??
Does the oil filter need changed etc??

Thanks guys

waste of money IMO, but if somebody wants to prove otherwise (next time you change your oil at 2500/3000 have someone analyze it, they will tell you whether you needed to change it or not.

especially you guys running synthetic, you are just pouring money down the drain.


my audi has been changed every 5k miles , with mobil 1 fully synthetic 0w40. still has like new compression at 140k.

edit: do a quick google search, i found a guy with a bmw who got his oil tested at 15k and it said "suitable for use" and also a guy with a turbo diesel (even harder on oil than gas) at 10k said suitable for use.

the key is the type of oil, dont buy the cheap **** and go for 10k miles, but 99% of the time the interval suggested on the box is not going to do your motor any harm.
