full syn every 4-5k, but thats just me. Posted by bobc [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: New 9-5 for a 9000 driver and Maintainence schedule?, Dr. J, Sun, 14 Jan 2007 16:38:14 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
there lots to read on this topic, pay particular attention to the info on sludge. I have decided to go with Mobil 0w-40 every 4-5 k.
there are tons of opinions of which oil to use and what the change interval should be.
read up and do what you are comfortable, although I would say that 10k is certainly too far between oil changes.
as far as the rest of the maintenance, I pretty much follow the book except for:
- I change the pulleys along with the serp belt (every 60k)
- I drain and fill the tranny (auto box) every 10k (thats about 3.5 qts every other oil change)
- clean the Throttle body when I get a chance (works out to every 10k or so)
- One bottle of Techron every 4 months.
