First oil change done. Engine had 5W-40 oils but I put the castrol 5W-30 oil. 0W-30 werent available at my local shop. So first tank change will go with these. This current tank I will drive dry to see the tanks real capasity. It should be about 40 liters but we will see. 80% driven at 100 km/h and the fuel consumtion gauge shows 2.9-3.0 l/100km.

First 13 kg taken out of the car:
Rear seats upper part about 10 kg, engine cover and insulation, and truncks visual cover

I will also take part to this fuel economy race:

That race is reason why I didint do any more changes because car needs to be in its original state on the race.
