Think my s2 is due a change, ive been running on castrol 10w40, but been offered some castrol 10w60 just wondering if this would be too thick for it

Any advice would be great
Thanks
Mick

 

I wouldn't

 

Why?

I'm currently running the new Mobil 1 Motorsport 10/60 which has replaced the 15/50 with no problems

 

Ive just looked at the bottle and its castrol edge 10w60 but its says its for special bmw m engines so maybe not ok for my old cvh lol I may just stick with my 10w40

 

Same reason I don't use diesel, wasn't made for my car.

I know most people say you can use basically anything but why mess about

 

So what oil is made specifically for your car then?

 

lol Good question...
I'm on 10w40, but am tempted to try a 10w50 or 10w60, i'll wait until i get an oil temp gauge tho to see what temps its getting to.

 

check out the sticky topic about oils best for your motor.

 

i run 10/50. run 10/60 but was trappy until warm,didnt like it

 

Read the sticky on oils mate

 

I have not seen anywhere, the need to run 10/60 on an average rs turbo. My choice is made up from information given. I'm not saying that is should never be used, just not for my spec. This is why I said "I wouldn't" iirc 60 is 70% thicker then the 40. Not saying your wrong because I don't know your spec but this is what I'm told...

The link will show you a post by "the oil man" about half way down that will talk all through the fact of thicker oils.
