Default Oil choice??

Alright boys, i can't find 15-50 Mobil 1 fully synthetic oil locally.

I used to run 10-60 in my FRST but this is for my "sensible" MFI 190bhp Escort.


What are you all using?? Grades etc etc?

Want/need decent protection, it's a daily driver which gets the occasional spank when warm. Don't want it sounding like a sewing machine on tickover...


Thankyouplease

See i did wonder about lower grades, really didn't wanna wait as it's due some love. Used the Pro S stuff before, its good gear!

Found a random local place which stocks Millers.

Halfords had cock all but their own muck. Cunts!


Nice one pal

Hahaha do one Nik!!

Nice one boys, good to see what your all runnin' and where it comes from. In the end i found a random private owned motor factors round the corner doin' Millers 10-60 for Ł35.

Had to do it, felt guilty everytime i started the car lol

That's in and a 1.8 Zetec filter fitted. Off to see the Oddkidd tomorrow, sortin the brakes, steering and gettin' a set-up. Then i'm out hunting for mugs! lol

Driving the ERST makes me feel 17 again!
