Hi just got myself an escort turbo with a 2.1 zvh engine going to give it a service soon but aint too sure what oil to put in it, ive tried a search but come up with nothing.
Any info on what decent oil would be great cheers.

 

probably fully sinthetic at a guess, i use castrol its dear but worth it imo

 

cheers craig rs ,was going to use the castrol rs 10/60 but was not sure if that grade was ok for the zvh

 

I have found that oil is personal thing! but it does help to have a decent oil pressure guage to check.

Use fully sinthetic there is no cheap alternative

I have a ZVH and I have used 0-5 good for power, ie oil drag is minimal but pressure drops a little low at idle.
15-40 mobil racing, good all round but maybe a little thick for the modern bottom end, but no complaints so far.

So my personal opinion is any sinth oil ranging from 10 to 60 !

Simon.

 

mobil one 15-50 motorsport does it for me
