Evening all,

I've just bought an escort cossie, and she's just under the lower marker on th e dipstick. So....................




Whats the best oil for me to use, going to fetch in the morning!


TA

Jay

 

the Silkolene pro seems to be the oil of the moment and it comes in 5 litre containers, unless you know it was recently changed I would do oil and filter and record mileage so you know where you are also check it on a regular basis

 

Whats the grade i should be using now

 

contact Opie oils in Devon I think I had 15-50

 

Cheers Ed but i need it in the morning as she's off to Grove's on Fridy morning?

People have mentioned Mobil 1 & Castrol RS..............Just want to be sure!

 

Ive been using millers motorsport 10-60 as im told its very good stuff

 

Well that set the cat among the pigeons..............Where did you get that from Chris???

 

You can use MOtul 300V Series too- Competition, Chrono, if track daying Le Mans.

 

I get mine through a friends car garage, it costs 29.99 for 5 litres and will be available from most car accesory dealers like motorworld etc

being a 10-60 grade its one of the thickest fully synthetic oils available and i think its good value too

Got mine to change tonight

 

here is A LOT 10W60's on the market, but there are thicker


Look for the spec for Motul Le Mans 20W60

 

Diesel oil

 

Castrol RS
Mobil One Motorsport
Millers Motorsport

 

I've got that in mine too

 

Cheers peeps!

 

I can't understand why people still buy that one :-(

 

Right i've bought Fords own fully synthetic formula S 5w - 40............


So we'll see how it goes.

MAybe we can start a poll of the best Oil's for your RS's, it would stop people clogging my the forums etc?

Just an idea!

 

You want to make some french fries or what?

 

Oh dear, top quality stuff

I would have gone for a decent oil like M1 15w-50, Silkolene PRO S or Silkolene PRO R.

Unless of course you're on a budget

Cheers
Simon

GT BATTLE 25/6/05 See us there!

 

see you took the advice mate,bet tap waters thicker than that

 

I'm using Valvoline 5w-40

 

Argg................

I did, Simon said any good quality 5w 40, 10w 40, 10w 50............So i thought Fords stuff will be OK...................WRONG.

OK i'm off to the garage again, lucky enough they had to order in from another dealer.............So i'll ignore te calls

So Mobil1 is ok then...................

 

Mobil 1 Motorsport 15-50

 

Right i've bought Castrol RS 10w- 60 just for now!

Pllllllleeeeeeeeeaaaaaasssssse tell me thats ok.........


Think i'll be ordering some off Simon ASAP!

 

ITs OK,

But I would change over to something with some real quality next time.

Silkolene and Motul are tops.

Cheers

Simon.

What do you reakon in my RS500
at the moment it has Castrol RS. I change my oil every six months or 500 miles. Car has only done 27000

 

There's only one in my opinion which balances quality and price

Silkolene PRO S 10w-50

There was a thread recently on this, I'm sure those using it would have a word or two of praise for it.

Fantastic oil, you won't find better at the price

Cheers
Simon

 

Thanks for that. I will now use it.

 

Simon,


How much for 5 ltrs of the bling Silkolene then???

Probably order next week if thats OK!

Cheers for all the help lads, well appriciated

 

Look in my thread on the general section entitled GT Battle Pre Orders and you'll find the prices there.

Cheers
Simon
