hi whats the best oil to run in the rs turbo escort s2 ive been told 10w 40 semi syenthetic something like that anyway

 

no no no no!. mobil 1 15-50w fully synthetic is the one to use. i used 0-40w fully synthetic over winter. never use semi synthetic stuff

 

cheers fella

 

Just buy Mobil 1 Motorsport, that'll do the job.

 

millers 15-50 fully sinthetic, is on a par with the mobil 1

 

Rather than annoy everyone and post another topic about this I'll post in here as it's same sort of thing.

I'm busy rebuilding my engine on my rst o what oil should I be running when I first put it on the road again? I was told I shouldn't use fully synthetic for the first 1000 mile or so.

 

use mineral oil when running in,then switch to fully synthetic

 

Just something like duckhams 15/40? I think I've got some of that at the back of my garage.

 

as long as its not fully or semi synthetic it will be ok,castrol gtx will do.
change the oil to fully synthetic and change the filter after 500 miles

 

Personally I'd do 2000 miles on non synthetic.............and change the oil and filter every 500 miles whilst running in, and use the 2000 miles as your running in period. The better you do run an engine in, the better it is...........

 

agreed ^^^^ i run mine in for 1700 , now boosting nicely at 18 psi , and up to 7k rpm

 

Thanks, will keep changing it for the first 2000 miles. Should take me about a year on the mileage I do

 

mobil 1 15-50 motorsport

 

Agreed, Mobil 1 Motorsport 15w50 is all i will run in mine
