No haven't done mine as I've only done 30k km. As for recommendation, I would say probably nearing the 80-100kkm mark to be safe, but it can depend on how the car was treated. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oil is oil ... If it is the right working range then it'll be fine. Big end bearings are a maintenance item anyway. Like Josh said, I'd be more worried about cams and cam followers snd I might add headgasket. Those seem to fail at a much much higher rate than big end bearings, especially if driven hard. I was personally referring to S65 and S85 engines of whom I know two of personally who have now gone and had SN oil before hand. But speaking to the Taylor Automotive guys, it's a pick up with the oil from sump.. Can't remember now. For the sake of $5 for me, I'm going to stick with TWS. Plus it gets delivered to work. Bonus service. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
