Nick at PF always told me that he hated Mobile and that most of the Ford Saloon racers would swear by Millers.

The car has been off the road for 2 and half years and my engine was built in 2004. Although its only dont 4k miles since the rebuild. Allways seemed a bit noisy on the mobil though as if the cam bearings were "dry".

Used to run all my other cossy's on castrol RS and it was a load thicker than the mobil.

What do the big bhp owners run then??

Mark Shead

I only run Pro S

Who have gotten their info from experts in oil?

Anything FS will do if changed often enough, just like most things, the 'comfort cushion' you require - like running Castrol SRF on a road car.
Royal Purple is the oil to use, although not cheap.
Silkolene is a good oil for a good price.
Fuchs is coming along, recommended and filled from new in many decent cars now, cracking price too.

i use millers 10w 60w in my 450bhp saff done 20k no probs yet

rapidcossie

I have used the big three(mobil, castrol and now silkolene) in my engine.

Noticed very little difference in the 3 but now use Silkolene on advice from people that are in the know.

Randoms on the net?

u can get mobil 1 from matt lewis (very good price)....and he's just started getting silkolene aswell..............when i've used what mobil1 i have, i'll be trying silky next

big_wig_074

id say with his reputation that he can comment quite truthfully on the subject rather than people reading random things on the net.
mobil 1 15 50 or castrol rs 10 60 i used to run,whichever of the 2 i could find

ESCYSCOTT

iTrader: (1)

I've always ued mobil 1 but would be tempted to try pro S.

What spec is your engine?

rapidcossie

I listen to very few opinions of here cally, hence why my car is a bit different from the norm

MATCOS

iTrader: (1)

I use Pro S as OILMAN was explaining the benefits on here ages ago and everyone seems to agree.

Dingy

Millers say there oil will only last 1 track day...used to say 2

Silkolene claim 2 track days...

So 20k on this oil and its fine is insane.......

Both these oils need changing every 2k IMHO if 1 track day is all they do....

Dingy

pro s is approx 35-40quid for 5l

rapidcossie

thats why the Silkolene looks expensive....its 5 litres and all others are only 4.

Dingy

eh ?

Millers is 5 mate has been for years.

rapidcossie

Sorry mate meant against castrol and mobil.

In all the years I have been into modded cars I have never seena bottle of millers so it cant be that popular.

Dingy

castrol is the only in 4l in a while mate....

And can't be that popular ?

Odd thing to say really....see it being used at most track days.

I can do £85 delivered for 2 x 5 litres Silkolene Pro S

regards Matt

rapidcossie

mobil one is 4 litres last time I looked?

Maybe the millers just isnt as avail in Scotland?

philbert

harvey said the same to me mobil is a good oil,I have used Mobil 1 15/50 for 6 years now, my 4x4 sapphire road car was on the dyno at ava 250whp and did 25000 hard road miles with out a problem changed every 8000 miles filter every 4000 don't forget you are toping up with fresh oil from time to time and there is no need to change to soon. engine went to harvey's just over a year ago for a full rebuild to 410bhp and there was no signs of wear at all, still runing mobil 1 15/50 in track car 1500 very very hard miles and the engine sounds sweet. I would listen to the people who build engines and have done for a long time but hay some internet mechanics know best

Rod-Tarry

No
I had Silkolene & Castrol RS Chemically analised after a Topspeed run.
Compete eye opener that Castrol produce such a crap oil. Silkolene coped well & is the only recommended choice of MAD & MikeR.

Please note this is advice, it makes no difference to me if its ignored, you cant tell how an oil has performed by looking at it, or saying you have used it for years, I used RS in my engines for long periods & now realise I was slowly wearing them out because of the inability of the oil to cope with extremes.

ive just paid £91.59 for 10 litres of oil from oilman matt

there is still no listing. that i can find on your ebay site for Silkolene Pro S

maybe thats a link that needs to be added

and not just word of mouth on here..

but your quality of customer service is second to none

.....matt does mobil 1 in 5lts for £25.....

I use Pro S at Reyland's recommendation as well.

CossieRich

iTrader: (1)

Mark Shead, Stu at MSD, Martin Hadland all recommend and use Pro S. Surely that is enough for everyone on this board to start using it

Mike Rainbird

iTrader: (3)

I also won't sell or use any other oil due to this being the best for any Cossie.

I'd like to think I'm not a random .

4parajon

As you say that was enough of a reccomendation for me as well, I got mine through Oilman on here and if you mention PF you get a discount.
I've been very impressed with the Pro S

Dan

Will the Pro S make the engine sound any differently over using the Mobile 15/50?

EDIT TO ADD: The usual top end rattle etc?

Turbosystems

iTrader: (5)

mobil has always made the tappets rattle on a yb
silkolene or millers for a quiter cossie

Dan

My top end is pretty good for a YB to be honest, but then the head is brand new...

May have to use Silkolene as i've just about ran out of Mobile 1 15/50 this week...?
