hello whats the best oil to use im going to do my first oil change tomo.

cheers

 

i would use 15w50 mobil1 in my mind you cant get better oil for turbo cars!

matt

 

i use valvoline 15w40 turbo from burtons

 

CASTROL RS 10/60,IS THE BEST (very good at high temps)

 

Would recommend 10w-50 or 15w-50.

You can always email me for a price list.

Cheers
Simon

 

well i use shell oil 10-40 and have found it to be fantastic(as far as oil goes) the one in the blue tub fully synthetic.....and only £20....

 

I can assure you at £20 a pop it's not a true synthetic but a "hydrocracked" oil labelled (legally) as synthetic. See my posts concerning true synthetics and labelling.

If it works it works but don't be fooled by the buzzword "synthetic".

Cheers

Use mobil 1 motorsport 15/50w you cant go wrong its 100% fully synthetic it costs around 35 quid. I use it in my motor and will not use anything else. I want to look after my engine as its only done 4500miles on rebuild. Also if you speak to Burton Power they will tell you the same. If you have spent alot of time and money on your engine then use the expensive fully synthetic oils so your engine will last

 

Agree, it's certainly a good one 100% PAO.

No problems with that, £35 for a good oil is always worth it in the long run.

Sell loads of it

Cheers

I use 10/60w Castrol RS, got a great deal and service from Reyland Motorsport!

 

well never had any probs and if its good enough for schumacher's fezza its good enough for my rs!..lmfao!...it works its quiet and all is well! and puma build also use it on there engines and servicing so cant be that bad!

 

The Castrol RS 10w-60 is just a hydrocracked mineral oil and not a true synthetic. Make sure they dont charge you true synthetic prices.

Older engines with their larger operating clearances demand the higher viscosity oils to achieve an adequate oil film thickness. Using a modern low viscosity oil in engines could be a recipe for disaster with a danger that the oil film will break down in the bearings, allowing metal to metal contact to take place with the inevitable consequences !

 

hmmmm interesting info there Simon!!!
is it true that once you have started using Castrol RS you shouldn't swap to another brand something to do with different makeup pulling sludge thru or sumthin?

also could you PM your pricelist (+P&P)

 

cheers fellas went with mobil 1 motorsport in the end 35£ halfords

question for you all my engines making a very slight tapping noise on start up only gets a bit quiter when its warmed up?is something going?also is there any good tuners near milton keynes? cheers

 

Myn does that to im sure its nothing to worry about. But then again i dont use my TURBS every day which is probaly the reason why and if the engine hasnt been running for a few days then the oil drains back in to the sump

 

Very good point, and quite true however dont be fooled by modern oils being thin, they are not, they come in all the traditional viscosities and thinner ones as well.

Cheers

Simon.

 

This is not true, you can change to whatever oil you want, as long as the oil change proceedure is followed correctly.

Pm sent fella.

Cheers

If you are using the Mobil 1 15w-50, this could be contributing to the noisey start up. The 15w-50 is ultimately a track grade so the 15w does not provide great start up protection when cold. You could be better of trying a 10w-50 to get the oil to circulate quicker.

Cheers
