Engine is all back together and ready for some oil (wasn't rebuilt, just sump, inlets etc removed for cleaning and inspection) I am thinking of getting Millers oil and the engine is Efi running around 200-210 bhp, am i right in thinking 10/50 fully synthetic?

Cheers, Twinny

 

yea, should be fine. mines on 10 60which I thinks ott but it does the job. it seems mobil motorsport is nla which is a shame as it was good stuff. that was 15 50

 

I use Millers 10w-50 in mine and it runs well.

This was the cheapest place I could find it

a bit ago i did some searching as well and also ended up for a 10-W50 for my 215 bhp spec

 

Thanks, i will get some ordered. am i right in thinking gear oil should be 75/90 fully?
cheers

 

i think this is one of those long winded "well ive got " topics

nothing wrong in that


Im going to have my say atleast lol

Guy in the local motorfactors said he had just been on a "oil course" and recons that the CVH turbo should be semi sinthetic as the chemicals / products to make it fully sinthetic will be burnt off with the higher temps ????


Ive got a semi castrol 10/40 in mine ( halfords were doing a special, only reason i went for that ) ( and not because of the bloke above ) and when its hot its like piss proper piss , sometimes the oil pressure light flickers on at tick over coz its so thin !!

its nearly time for an oil change anyway so ill defo be going thicker

 

Millers 10/40

 

I'm using Valvoline VR1 Racing oil full synthetic 5W50

 

Millers 10/60 NT in mine and Millers 75/90 NT in the gearbox
