Oil
 
What oil do you lot recommend, I would normally use mobil 1 but went for some cheapy stuff last time :oops: No problems but maybe got a bit thin when running at full chat. Anyway, gonna change it again and wana know what peeps suggest? mobil 1 / castrol I guess?

It is a standard 1600 cvh running 10psi :top:

Ta.

Use 5/30 fully synthetic oil. As long as it's this grade you should be fine. Thats the grade ford told me to use.

Cheers
Dave

KSA-Cossie 23-08-2004 04:00 PM

Valvoline vr1 racing oil,10w 60.

adamS2RST 23-08-2004 04:51 PM

hmm... ok so is 10w 60 the recomended one? if ford tol him 5w 30? Oil is oil IMO but at the same time i wouldnt put any propper cheap shit in, cos it is most important lube of the engine obviously........

yep thats the stuff, Mobil 1 is the best for the ERST in my opinion, the Castrol RS stuff makes ur car sound like a tank!

Change it less than 3000miles a time! :top:

adamS2RST 23-08-2004 06:45 PM

Yea, just about covered 3K now so will do it I fink :top:

lamar69er 23-08-2004 07:00 PM

get a genuine filter, as there only bout a fiver! :DD:

paulp 23-08-2004 07:52 PM

5w30 seems a bit thin for a cvh,think about the age of the engine and how many miles it has done,5w30 would be ok for 16 valve and the like, i would personally use 15w50 mobil 1 :top: :top:

kevsrs 23-08-2004 08:22 PM

Mobil 1 15/50 for me too :top: :top:

ballin 23-08-2004 08:30 PM

if you do a search Ad its always between Mobil 1 and Castrol RS.....theres nothing between them basically!
Best to stick to what its had tho really each have different properties so best to stick to the same recipe ;)

akito-man 23-08-2004 09:21 PM

adamS2RST 23-08-2004 09:28 PM

I always use mobil 1 motorsport in mine but a friend of mine had he's engine set up etc by Tommy Field who advised him to use an oil that shell do. Not sure which one it is but coming from someone of Tommy's experience can't be too wrong
