you obviously not read my post correctly

and to reply to what you just said, why the fook would you buy cheap fooking shit oil then, when you spent that much on an engine,

my 205 has 45quid oil in it, and to replace my engine complete is Ł300

some people


want the earth, by spending peanuts, then complain when it breaks



that more clear?

silkolene pro s is the best to use imo, it has a much higher break down point than almost any other brands

matt lewis. or oil man on here

I no you was having a lath mate 45 pound is ok iv not got a problem with that price..

its just that i payed that for the oil that was in the car when it all went rong and when i was asked wot was in it i was told that the stuff that should ov been in it was 75 pound which is a bit O/T/T if you ask me
i just wont the best for my motor

I rate Halfords oil and would definitely use it.

IMO it's as much about the regularity of the oil changes, and not just about using a 'fashionnable brand'

Pro S is what i use in all my cars that will be worked hard

never had an engine fail

that oil is 5w 50 so no wouldnt recomend using it in a cossie engine, would be way too think surely?!

Use mobil 1 15/50 personally!

COLEYST200

iTrader: (3)

know this is doing my head in

5/50 ?
10/50 ?
15/50 ?

cossieDavedree

cossies when they came out ran on 20w50.
Those tolerances still apply.. Besides if you havent run the engine in yet then you just need some basic 10-40 to bed the rings in. then change to a decent oil such as
mobil 1 15 50, or pro s 60

dooge

i use 10/60 fully synthetic thats what i put in mine with no problems

dooge

COLEYST200

iTrader: (3)

Iv got 10-40 in at the mo and its Know done 100 miles so i was thinking of dropping the oil .......WOT DO YOU THINK

Martin-Hadland

iTrader: (2)

If this is a new engine (re-bored/new rings) I would NOT want to be running synthetic oil to run it in. If you need advice just call Ian.

i run my engines in on mineral oil, for 500 miles, then straight onto siklkolene pro s

Big Will_

Millers do a specific running in oil designed to help everything break in - alternatively, mineral oil is the only other thing i would use...

JTECH James

iTrader: (13)

im sure comma do a running in oil aswell, designed to0 avoid bore glaze and the like

pee vee

erm, 5/50 and 15/50 would be the same at 90 deg...

but the 5/50 would be thinner (so to speak) when cold..

run it in on mineral oil or a "running" in oil, then after 250 miles change it for pro s 10/50

Stu @ Claims Care Centre

iTrader: (1)

i have mineral oil in my untill i hit 200miles then i will put empty and put another lot of mineral oil in until 1k then on the silkolene

rs2klee

100 miles mate is not enough.. you should be using a mineral 10/40 to run it in to help prevent glazing up the cyclinders, if not then its only going to smoke then its pistons out again new rings and hone ect. i just done my engine like you and spent a small fortune, but on the note of not spending Ł75 on good oil its better to put what is recomended than a cheap oil that going to cause greater problems later on. As JTECHSAPH mensioned 500 miles is a good amount of milage to run in the engine, dont let it come on boost and keep speeds to a max 60-70mph, i have only done just under 200.. ill change at 250 for more mineral then do another 250miles.. i got my final oil ready to go in Valvoline 10/60 VR1.

theres no way id put cheap oil in after spendin 2+ grand rebuilding.. if someone said oh you need oil that going to cost Ł100 ill be putting it in, moneys no option. look after the engine and it will look after you

thanks for comment lads the car has got mineral 10/40 in it at the mo . there are some good tips that you lads are telling me i was going to drop it today but i didnt get time but from wot you are all saying just drop some more 10/40 in and keep putting the miles on the clock . well it will have 150 more miles on the clock after tomorrow as we will be at the santa pod at about 8.30 am so i will drop the oil next weekend thanks for the replys lads

you need to use a little boost when runing in, nursing the engine will not help the run in process.

use 10psi, and limit revs to around 4.5k, but do use it, the boost pressure will act on the rings, and force them into the cylinder walls

there's a good read in the techical area about running in an engine

https://passionford.com/forum/showth...hlight=running

as Jtech says, dont drive off boost, you do need to let the car come on boost as normal but dont over stress it
