..i am just doin the head gasket on this new saff of mine..which will probably turn out to be a cracked block
...but in the event of a fluke and it all goes well....whats your take on cheaper oil,now its run on mobil 1 15 50...but fuck paying that kinda money..the expensive oil is reserved for my duke and nsr..lol..........so i am gonna use semi synthetic drivemaster from one of our suppliers...problem?...I change oil on the YB every 2k....so basically every 5 years
no point in using an oil that will last 15k surely?

Ive had my saff cossie for nearly 5 years used every day and never had a problem ever!! Always used mobil 15 50 or the castrol rs 10 60 . spend the extra cash its worth it..

I ran my Dolomite engine on magnatec
540 atw
I changed it everytime it went black
We stripped the engine down as Karl had done another cyl head and the Pistons and bearings were mint
I now run it on fully synth as it gets hotter with the abuse on track
But if i was just running on the road all the time i would use magnatec...

I only use this now, and my engine after 35k, still looked MINT inside the bottom end when it was stripped down

It may appear expensive, but it is for FIVE litres as opposed to the usual four you get with the Castrol and Mobil.
Also FYI regarding the Castrol RS 10w60, I stopped using this as it is not a true fully synthetic oil, and also due to it's molecular structure, it actually "unwinds" when it gets hot. This obviously means that it EXPANDS when hot, so if you fill it up to the top level and then go out on track, it will expand to the point of going above the full level

Silcolene Pro 10-50 proved that an oil was capable of taking that abuse & still be in Spec. Pro 5-40 is best when Nitrous is used as it allowed Petrol being forced past the rings to burn off more easily, the 10-50 having a tad too much Petrol present when analized (not a problem on the road).

Yo phil
the amount of money you make and your penny pinching over a few quid on oil , my god , you need help
I use silkolene in the cossie and the rs2000
one good thing you get 5litres instead of 4 so it works out a bit cheaper
it's proper oil and does exactly what it says on the tin it's ester based fully synthetic oil
just hurry up and send my map sensor
