as above cheers in advance folks

 

Oil grade depends alot on engine spec

 

Mobil Motorsport 15w-50 would be a good choice

 

Only if you don't do lots of cold starts in the winter time.

 

mobil 1 motorsport 15w 50 is fine for all year round, i ran my old s2's on it for 3 years each and they were 200bhp daily drivers

silkolene pro s 5w 40 is what i use in my s1

 

hi folks cheers for the speedy replys the car hardly gets used it will be lucky if it gets out once a month

 

Personally I wouldn't use anything as thick as 15W on a daily driver. On a cold day it'll take several seconds for the oil to reach the head/tappets and the bearings of the turbocharger.

It says Motorsport on the tin, yeah, fair enough. But in motorsport you usually don't start a car several times a day at -5 degrees.

 

we are lucky to see minus 5 over here in the uk for any period of time, we had a cold spell for a few days which dipped below -5 but thats about it, most of the year it never gets below 0 degrees

 

Well, maybe not down in hampshire (been to southampton myself in September ) but mind you, he's from Scotland.

I'm just saying you should pick an oil that suits your driving. An expensive high performance/track day oil might do more harm than good if used in conditions where the car rarely reaches optimum oil temperature.

 

good quality 10w40 part syn

 

Any 15w 50 Fully Syn 3 Ester oil will be fine, Mobil, Millers, Silkolene etc...
