When you change fully synthetic oil you can tell the difference, there is never any crud or sediment in the bottom of the drain tray. I change oil in 4 diesel motors and SWMBOs petrol Scenic, I usually buy 20 X 5L at a time.

There's a 'how to' somewhere around that should help. There's also a weakness in the system that means they can be hard to adjust: the compensators can stretch. There are a number of solutions to this.

Does the engine have the notorious circulation valves in the inlet manifold that was so fateful on the BMW's ? 2. What oil do you recommend ? 3. Can I tune the engine to increase BHP a little ?
I am a fully qualified HGV mechanic and am very impressed by the car so far, very comfortable and easy to drive. One last thing, is the handbrake adjustable or self adjusting ?
