Currently using 15-50w grade....

is this alright, if not wot grade of the same make is/if better...??

 

Have been told this is the best grade to use - its what I have just put in my car anyway Motul oil 15W/50 is also VG!

But I have seen some threads suggesting 10W/60?????????..........Comments anyone??????

 

always use mobil one motorsport


but im going to try some silkolene pro for my new engine

 

Nice one Dave! - what is this 10W/60 oil all about??????

Also - Have you had my cheque yet?

 

10/60 is castrol RS... personally wouldnt use that in my engine. Its an 'alternative' to mobil 1 m/s


remember, oil choice is like a football team to some people, some swear by castrol, others hate it.

ive always been a mobil 1 ms person, but am willing to try some silkolene pro

no chq yet pal

 

Dave - should have the cheque soon, I posted it on monday evening.

Back to oil - The guy I bought the car off was using Motul 300V 15w30
went to price this up and it was about Ł10 more than the mobile 1 motorsport 15w50 - Dave you know I am a tight bastard so I went for the mobil.

Question is - any advantages in using the Motul???????

 

yes to the first..

no to the second

 

Top c*nt!

 

10 30 Łcuk that be better off using the piss from the badger in your sig after his stella mate

 

I would not use 10w30 Damo- like you said badgers piss would be better!
I work in the Ford bridgend engine plant and we stick 5w30 in the 1.25/1.4/1.6 - crap really!

 

nah they will be ok for certain engines, but yours will get too hot for it with the turbo... oils are comlicated things and I dont even profess to know .02% of the full info available re oil types

 

cheers guys.. ill be sticking with the mobil 1 then...... was gonna go ~Millers, but not sold in many places, as you all probly know.

 

I have heard good things about Millers...

 

same her, but so hard to get hold of on a regular basis.

 

I ALWAYS USE MILLERS

 

where do u get yours from.?

 

Tight bastard alert!!!! - is'nt millers expensive as fook?

 

yes. very, but top stuff...

 

no its actually a little cheaper than mobil 1 mSport

 

I Thought LOL

 

is it....right down the shops for millers... he he...

might just stick with mobil 1 anyway.

 

I thought Mobil 1 - Ł30 - 4L & Millers Ł48 - 4L????

 

depends where you buy it my local motor traders do it and i get a discount so buy it from someone like that not frm somewhere that its gone through 4 sources and put a huge price on

 

How much do you pay then?

 

cant remember tbh as my cossie came just serviced and i only done about 700miles since, but around Ł20 iirc

 

Ł20 - you will have to tell us where for that money!!!

 

i'll have to buy it in bulk and sell it on here

 

sounds good!

 

it's what i use in mine

 

castrol RS 10w60
Ł33
simon@woodford garage

cheeRS chic

 

No not Castrol RS

Use a decent synthetic 10w-50 or 15w-50.

With winter approaching 10w-50 would be better.

Silkolene PRO S 10w-50 is good and popular here

Cheers
Simon

 

mobil 1 15/50 motorsport the only oil that been used in our cossie! quality!

 

I was told mobil one is to thin to use.

 

The 0w-40 might be but the 15w-50 isn't.

With winter coming on a 10w-50 is preferable to a 15w-50.

Cheers
Simon
