FI Engine Maintenance
I'm picking up my car on friday and I have a few questions about the every day care and maintenance my car will need. Here is a list of my mods:
Maggie 3.6" pulley Stage II Snow meth kit with safeinjection Dual fuel pump 1 7/8" LT ARH 160 tstat Rotofab CAI twin disc clutch So how often should I change the oil? What type of oil should I use? Does the maggie, meth kit or dual fuel pump require any maintenance? thanks!!! |

LPE recommends running 15W-50 Mobil 1. I change every 3,000 miles. Also a spark plug change every 30,000. I run 10W-30 when it gets cooler out. Other than that, normal maintenance I think.

thanks for the info. I also wanted to know what are you guys doing insurance wise. With all the $$ I've invested in the car, I'm now worried about my car being stolen.

My bet as the insurance companys now zero about any of the builds on here lol just a guess as most insurance companys would gouge you if you said hey I put 10k in my car what if it gets stolen? They are gonna hike it up and quick!

If you are worried about your modified car, there are other threads dealing with insurance, but there are many aftermarket companies that will give you "agreed upon" value. Places like Grundy, Hagerty, Heacock, J.C. Taylor, USAA, etc. At that point you will also need to estimate how many miles you will drive it during one year. There are other insurance companies that will insure it while on a race track. |
