Hi All was created by chimpbikes
Just wanted to say hello. I'm new to this site and to owning a Jimny.
Its a 2006 the bloke i bought it off has done the mods i would have done myself.......................
Raised it 3", Steering damper, ARB bumper and winch, snorkel, breather kit, Helle spot ligths and BFG Mud terrains.

I have just had a stainless steel exhaust made for it (£280) because the original was blowing just infront of the cat.

I want to carry out a oil and filter change and was wondering if I could use fully synthetic the jimny has done 54000 miles???

Anyway I'm sure I'll be now a regtular on this site.

Thanks,

Chimpbikes

To answer your question, fully synthetic is fine.

If it is a VVT it needs 5w30, the ordinary twin cam needs 10w30, but most people use 10w40 because it is cheaper.

Halfords were selling 5w30 Magnatec fully synthetic @ £17 for 4 litres last week, the offer might still be on.
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

Sorry cant post photo's of the wee beastie or the exhaust, I'm offshore for another 4 weeks!

I was thinking of Mobil1 fully synth because I can get fairly cheap from Costco. I'll get the filter and plugs from here for when i get home.

Another question....to stick with the standard air filter or get a KN?



Cheers,

El Chimpo
