This one superseded the previous Mobil 1 ‘newer formula’ or similar wording. Would not give a care in the world about that Dexos wording - this is fine and probably remains one of the better ones on the market.

Might be better if you split? Buying 5 in a hit is hefty! I’ve actually been looking for a couple as I have gutter rash on two of my rims. MY17 Calais V, it’s what happens when you let the wife drive instead of yourself. (Oops!!)

I had a bit of back and forth with the guy to understand more about how it worked. I currently run the Import Road / Envyous Customs version and it also automatically connects wirelessly to my phone however the downside is the AUX programming. Not having to do the AUX is a big win. However...

I use the Bosch Aerotwins. They are excellent.

The MY16 and 17 Calais V both had Slipstream Blue as an option so you should be able to find second hand ones available. If you’re worried about resale you just keep the parts you took off and put them back on when you sell.

If you remove the spoiler from the Sv6 it will be the same as a Calais so I’m not sure what you mean by the weird swooping protrusion on the Calais V. It just doesn’t have a spoiler. If the looks bug you a lot, you can get a Calais V and drill holes in the rear boot lid to add the Sv6 spoiler...

But 600mL more? That’s a lot! Now that the engine is cold, I’ve checked the dipstick again and it has gone even higher above the dimples. Mmm so dealership taking me for a ride. Car is out of warranty next year anyway so time to go elsewhere!

Sorry reviving an old thread here but didn’t want to start a new one when this has been covered already. LS3s in the VFII I understand take 7.6 litres as per Imoengnr’s post here. In the owners handbook it also says 7.6 including filter (although “approx” is used!!). Has anyone heard of the...

You could find an auto electrician to do the HUD for you but that requires cutting into the dash, pulling it apart, tapping into a loom… is this something you really want someone to do to your car? MY16 and MY17 are the only Sv6s with Slipstream Blue option. I was in your shoes previously in...

Definitely!!! :D

Would be looking for a new mechanic next year here in Sydney when the VF is out of warranty. Look forward to hear your feedback.

PM’d too!

Talk to Import Road - they will sort you out. I have their system installed in mine. All MyLink features retained as well as screen. I just switch to Apple CarPlay whenever by switching to AUX. Do a search on YouTube for them, or Envyous Customs for how the product works. And much better...

Sorry I thought that CPS was lifetime for our Commodores? I’m sure they were sold as that and they are also written as lifetime in the service handbook?

Naah it was definitely a white sedan! Can’t find the post anymore but I could only think ‘wtf’ when I saw it!!
