Mr.B Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Picked up my 1.6 Vaux 8v classic (Beaulieu) at the end of December 03 new from a local dealer and just clocked up its first 500 miles keeping below 4000rpm etc. What now? Oil change etc.? If so what oil should I use? Advice would be appreciated as the build Manual I bought from Caterham only covers K series cars.

Badger Bill Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Not an expert in anything, just making sure that you had read all this topic... Happy thrashing 😬 BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.B Posted March 9, 2004 Author Share Posted March 9, 2004 Thanks BB, read that - assumed it was a K series - don't know why. Wanted to check sythentic was OK for the 1.6 VX 8v as I am used to running toys that are older then me and so am unsure of synthetic oils and where they can be used!

Myles Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 500 miles is the first service point isn't it? And isn't it a freeby under the normal warranty? Keep BC free and open for ALL. Membership No. 43xx Alcester Racing 7's Equipe - 🙆🏻™ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
