As for what oil iv always used at least a 15-40 but even better a 10-60 or 20-50
Valvoline racing is the best for a yb in my opinion or millers iv used castrol if i havnt been able to get my favourite...
If you got through 5 ltr in 1k in any period on a fresh engine then believe me its burning way to much oil!!!
cheers danny
I was also going to comment along these lines but thought i would wait until someone else said it.
IMO and ive had 6 saffs and an escos 3 of them rebuilt engines i have never used anywhere near as much as 5 litres of oil in 1000 miles.
Yes they use oil but that is massively excessive IMO.
Ive used variety of oil, used to use mobil 1 in a fresh engine and never used anywhere near that, last one was silkoline and once again no where near that.
