Hi
Ive had my 500 for a year now.. no dramas but it does not run beautifully
Its my 1st VVT.. so will ask a few questions :
Oil filter.. a dozen options like my 1108's..or all the same filter spec on these panda and 500 1242's?
I read about cleaning the VVT solenoid.. so will try that
OIL.. not bothered much with my dozen or so FIRE motors.. ( but owning 2 x twinairs.. I am now a tad fussier.. )
I may well go for a Castrol..or similar 'big name'.. ( often on 'Sale' ..) any opinions on things to avoid..?
Magnatec failed a few independent tests when 'new' and packaging soon said 'new formula'... so Ive shy'ed away from that
But this car has an easy life ( but already seems to 'burn a bit')..
Its a 2018 on @50k.. had basics covered in its 1st 3 years..and done 6 k with me.. dash just started counting down to my 2nd oil change.. Ive got a few weeks
