Dear all,

I have finally purchased a Chimaera 500 but I have not yet bought any specific items for maintenance. I am keen to get these so that I can do my weekly checks and top-up as needed.

Please could you help me by letting me know which products I should buy in one easy thread?

Which brand and specification do I need for the following?
Engine Oil
PAS fluid
Brake fluid
Windscreen washer fluid

I am also looking to get some Waxoyl (Black) to top up the coating already on the chassis.

Is there anything else I should get? Injector cleaner, etc?

Thanks,

FreeLitres

Some further research shows that I need Mobil 1 5w-50 Engine oil.

Does anyone know where I can get this from? There is a Halfords just down the road but the website doesn’t show Mobil 1 5w-50.

If you wish to use Mobil, buy the 15w50 motorsport version wink

PAS fluid is probably best bought by the tanker rofl

Brake fluid, forget it for a while and then fit braided hoses if you haven't got them, and flush the whole lot to whatever spec/brand you want?
