Jeez so now Pete knows better than a reputable tuner and a training manual for rebuilding engines????

It's just a shame he doesn't know that turbos are lubricated by oil, not hot air

 

Pete!

 

We are NOT talking about rebuilt engines now .... we are talking Oil changes!

Reputable Tuner?? NO Oil for 1 minute statement?? Run for 1 minute with no oil?? with statements like that I wouldn't trust my toy radio controlled scooby to them!! VERY worrying indeed!!

Pete

 

Ummm... Pete have you actually read my first post?

Ummm... Pete have you actually read Zen's post?

 

Yes??????

Pete

 

The subject has changed along the way .... get used to it

Zens post?? Yes I have - just because it took him 1minute to get the pressure up under cranking does NOT mean that it would take 1minute when the engine is started .................. thinking such a thing worries me somewhat??

Pete

 

Worried Pete. No dont worry Pete. its not your car.

 

My car is in VERY good hands ............................... MINE!!!

And it starts very well straight after an Oil change

Pete

 

No it hasn't gramps - my first post was "In addition, a turbocharged engine must be preoiled whenever an oil change is performed."

Relevant words here are 'oil' 'turbocharged' 'change' and 'preoil' i.e. crank or pump with a special tool.

 

The book is WRONG ...... the best part of all this is that YOU have wasted £80 on a book which contains the ramblings of a madman

When all you had to do was e-mail me .......

Pete

 

I'll take this corner too

Pete

 

i'd be upset if i'd paid £80 for the thing. I got it secondhand (unused weirdly ) off amazon for 20 notes delivered

It also said that submersing the oil filter for a few hours was a good idea if you have time... Another anality debunked!

 

I see ....... now I wonder WHY it was reduced by 75%?? Maybe because its 75% WRONG!?

Soak the filter for a few hours ...... HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA I will laugh about that until I die I wonder how many on here do it??

My neighbour takes 30minutes to leave his house ... he anally checks the door, the windows, the locks, the locks again, the door again (shaking it and shaking it), checks the side gate, checks the door, checks the lock, rattles the windows, shakes the door, on and on and on ...... HE would do the **** Oil Change!!!

Pete

 

Weather its 10 or 80 quid as long as the jobs done properly i dont care how much it cost me. You drive a scooby ffs its not cheap and if you want to save money then drive something else. Ive spent more on petrol in a day

 

I must just have money to waste though but who cares you only live once

 

You have clearly posted in the wrong thread?????????????????

Pete

 

Yes but he will come home to a TV and microwave, whereas you will come home to the site of a hoody driving your Scooby off with your Craftmatic bed lashed to the roof.

 

Where the fooook do YOU live??

North Wales or something???

Pete

 

Think i have got the wrong end of the stick but i still stand by the fact that if you want to save money then you dont buy a scoob. Whatever wants doing to my car i take it to a known garage and as long as its done properly i pay whatever. I certainly wouldn't buy your book pete

 

I won't be rude to you - you come from Teeside - I'm a Middlesbrough lad myself

The issue was whether the **** Oil Procedure needs to be carried out - when the Subaru Main Dealers do NOT carry out a cranking-over of the engine without starting it in some vain attempt to get Oil Pressure up!

Just because we own Impreza's does NOT mean we have to pay over-the-odds for stuff like Oil (Quality Oil is Quality Oil)

Pete

 

Cheers pete. Im not arguing the quality of oil or weather the **** thing needs carrying out or not just saying im daft enough to pay whatever

 

Thats fine .....................

I've worked on cars for donkeys years .......

Cars are basically the same now as they have always been ... more electronics ... but basically the same.

Certainly Oils have developed in line with the engine development ... but the principles remain constant - regular oil changes are FAR more important than some **** procedure of Oil Change!!

And as for CockLinks and lights to tell you when to change gear ............ words fail me (sometimes!!)

Pete

 

Must admit im with you on the cocklink thing pete

 

Do you need a likkle light to tell you when to change gear???

Pete

 

No i dont need a little light to know when to change gear and dont have one.
Must admit i do have a knock sensor which is a feature of the apexi that i had mapped to my car although i never take any notice of it. It does flash ocationally but i dont see that as sign of my engine blowing up so i just ignore it

 

I have a KnockSensor too!!

It was supplied by Subaru and fitted by them, it talks to the ECU directly within nanoSeconds and the ECU issues commands to the required areas. It feels no need to worry me with lights and stuff .... as by the time I have seen the light, thought about it, chosen some action and carried out that action .... the ECU has reacted at least 100 times!!

So I leave it to the ECU to take care of things for me, while I enjoy driving

Pete

 

My knock sensor is read by hearing, the only way to get a true reading.

 

Pete we all know that the Japs can't make electronics. The Bosch is a substantially better sensor, and actually works above 4000rpm. Now this obviously isn't an issue for you, but some of us like to spool our turbos.

 

I take it, because my Turbo isn't 'spooled' I can use £4:99 a Gallon 'MotorWay' Oil???

Pete

 

Crisp'N'Dry - yummy and good cold protection.
