Maintenance question - oils

Quick filter/oil question

The car used to be a garage queen and hardly driven, having covered just under 2k in the last 2 years.

Last time the oil was changed/serviced was in sep 2012. I am going to get it done as soon as possible but the question is, and I know its not ideal, but as it was lightly used and not ragged, at 2 years is it really going to be a critical issue?

I am not really driving till I get it done, looking at the oil it looks in good condition sill

Next question, who sells filters for the LS blocks?

cheers, its being changed definitely but am stuck between now and the weekend

if I can get a filter, I can get it changed.

Anyone know what the part number is for a pf8r filter? I see the vxr8 uses the pf8 not the pf8r

Cheers its for an LS7, got a KN HP-1017 here for tomorrow so will do it tomorrow

Thanks for the post though

M5 should be 10w60 it's a specific oil for m power cars

just realised its a different viscosity

petronis it is then

I'd still rather get the oil changed and then I have that peace of mind
