Thread: D2 Thor V8 Oil Change Intervals ?

what do you get for $450,surely more than an oil change.I change mine at 10 thou,but tend to clock those up quickly,I think one of the oil gurus will chime in with advice.

The D2 V8 engine is not state of the art technology, it's a basic push rod V8 , chain driven single cam shaft and little has changed it over many years. I don't believe it warrants spending big money on fully synthetic engine oil. Mineral based oil with regular changes including filter would suffice, and save you money. It is an easy DIY job, so if you spent $400 just on an oil change then that is dear.

Every 5,000 ks or six months with Valvoline oil plus filter < $45

If it is seldom used but well warmed up when driven, then oil changes could be stretched to perhaps 12 months.

If, however, you do only very short trips then 4 months would not be too often.

Semi synthetic such as 10-40 Magnatec is ideal for these older engines.

Ten.

Oil obviously gets dirty with contaminants when it's used but it also has issues when it sits around and more so when partially used and sits. I've just started using Penrite 10/40 diesel oil in the V8 and it's higher in zinc and the other stuff which is reduced in newer petrol oils. I've previously used Penrite Semi Syn 10/40 petrol oil which was fine but in reading up there has been a few references to whats missing from new oils that older engines like (zinc etc) so that prompted the change to the diesel mix. I change every 5000k's, oil and filter and I also use a hydraulic filter (25micron Zinga brand, part no be-25-25 by memory) which is a direct fit and keeps things really clean.

I read somewhere that we can use engine oil in the 5 speed box & transfer case, so is there one oil that can be used for all three? (V8, G box & transfer box)

What Roverlord and Clubba said.
Zinc is required.


I doubt Castrol/Penrite recommend using the same oil--
