Fairly simple one this!

Do you have to use special oil for an RST? or can my mate just go to Halfords or wherever and get some cheaper stuff?

Its a standard lump still on MFI, nothing special. Any help appreciated!

 

aslong as its fully synthetic and ethier 5w 40 or 15w 50 then it will be fine

 

15/50 mobile one motorsport expensive but very good

 

15/50 Millers or Silkolene

 

 

Thanks peeps, something to think about!

 

i always used to use valvaline 10w60 in my old s2 in this one its using millers 10w60 cracking oil not had any probs

 

I use castrol tws 10w 60 oil in my rs turbo, works well.

 

shit, i best change mine lol

 

76Oil 20w50 fully synthetic works nice!

 

just to drag this back up, is this the one you mean?

HOW MUCH! i need to do mine this weekend after an "accident" with the turbo return pipe

surely theres a cheaper alternative? i dont think i can justify that on an oil change at the moment

 

Yes thats the stuff and yes it is very expensive!! Millers or Silkolene is also about that price, any 3 Ester oil will be but it's what we need to keep our engine sweet!

I use this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Silkolene-Pro-...1%7C240%3A1318 it's a 10w instead of a 15w but all that means is that it can go down to -20C instead of -15C which isnt a bad thing with the weather we have been having!

 

cheers for that, not being funny, but this oil change will have to last me well into the summer. i've had about 2 weeks work since christmas, on and off and things are gonna get worse. i might have to slum it out abit, and use whats to hand for now. i used mobil 1 stuff before, i cant remember the exact one and that was about 36 quid. that was beofre i dropped my turbo engine in though. damm cars are SO expensive to maintain, god knows what it'd be like with some thing really valuable <-- real tears on this one

 

I know what you mean mate i'm low on work too, and yes they are expesive to run/maintain

 

i agree
