M.A.D.RST · 12-02-2007, 04:49 PM

Going to change the spark plugs and do an oil change ready for its outing this summer

Just wondered what is best to get/use??

Its a small turbo with just a Blueflame exhaust

Thanks.

dave cos4x4 · 12-02-2007, 05:06 PM

just standard plugs and oil for your car will do,never gets used anyway.

adamski frst · 12-02-2007, 05:41 PM

varies, but i know of a good superchip you should buy for the summer to give you a bit of extra fun

M.A.D.RST · 12-02-2007, 06:33 PM

I have ppp8 plugs in mine with Mobil 1 15-50 Motorsport

Arnie · 13-02-2007, 08:04 AM

tried Selenia Racing 10W-60

Now using Speed Master Pro Racing Special 5W-50 (don't ask me to translate the web page, I can't read Japanese either!)
http://www.speedmaster.co.jp/product...peg_merit.html
The car felt so much more responsive with the Speed Master! Maybe 10W-60 is too thick.

Gonna try Motul 300V next, I've heard really good comments

Arnie · 13-02-2007, 08:07 AM

Using Champion plugs, used to have really rough idle, but for the past 2 months the idle had been spot on!

rsdene · 13-02-2007, 12:20 PM

Thanks Martin....................and Dene

Stoo · 13-02-2007, 05:35 PM

I use Mobil 1 15-50

And as i noticed last time i was down, my brother uses it for 'top ups' on his car!

Can't remember plugs..i'm crap..

maxest · 13-02-2007, 09:47 PM

Deffo Silkolene, i went to that from castrol rs in one of mine,, and the difference in noise on cold start up was unbelievable!

M.A.D.RST · 14-02-2007, 08:35 PM

Max, do you think the Silkolene is better than the mobil 1 15-50 everyone is recommending?

Also wheres the best place to get the ppp8 plugs from??

M.A.D.RST · 25-02-2007, 06:50 PM

Need to get everything ready for its service

(not that its been used)

Mr.Ford · 26-02-2007, 10:44 AM

I've just orderd some original plugs (I thought AGP12's ). Think original's are the best

I normally use 10w50 oil...

ECOS95 · 26-02-2007, 05:38 PM

Silkolene 10W50 in mine & as Maxest said it made a huge difference in mine from Castrol RS.
RS is way to thick.
