Silkolene Pro S 10w 50 here aswell

These boys are right, you don't need 10w-60.

10w-50 is a far better option and quality is better as well.

Noticed this thread in another section - so are we all agreed that Silkolene 10w-50 has the majority vote as the best oil?

Is a flush necessary when going from standard oil to synthetic - or is a drain only ok?

oilman

Flushing with some of the new oil is the best option.

Cheers

So what would you suggest Simon, drain original oil, put a litre of synthetic in, drain and then put the regular amount it?

oilman

Here you go,

Flushing Procedure (Don’t use flushing oils or additives)

1. Warm up engine to get oil circulating
2. Turn off engine and drain old oil
3. Fill with new oil to minimum (you will be wasting this)
4. Warm up engine to get oil circulating
5. Turn off engine, drain new oil and change filter
6. Fill to marker on dipstick

Cheers

Simon.
