Mr.T

Now that I am out of the 2 years service with BMW I have spent some time
assessing the future costs that I will entail with general service to be done.
The milage I wish to see on the odo must be at least 500 000 Km before any
major pistons, bearings & valve replacements.
The final drive oil using the standard 75w90 is not more than R 25.00/180 ml.
The standard 20w50@ 4 liters will be about R 100.00 / oil change.
Plugs X 4 from Alan lewis @ about R 250.00/ 40 000 km
The oil filter which is on test and as you will see identical to the BMW @ R 75.00/ oil change
The test will take at least 2 years so be patient
The oil will be replaced every 5000 Km & filter every 10 000 Km
The brake pads will be resurfaced @ R 90.00 / set by our local Clutch
bonding agent with a meduim soft compound.
I believe 1/2 million Km is easily attainable with these oil changes so be patient once again.
So! not too expensive to do a genral service ? 8)
