Its ok Rich, though im up for trying this new stuff that everyone is raving about, though i dont want to not use this new tud of oil in the garage as would be a waste

One thing i find with CAstrol is it can leave the engine noise ish But mind im parinod about noise and if i could i would have a silent running engine (fook knows why i havea cossie then )

the best oil to use you will find is shell helix 10w/40 from shell garages,i know of several cossys and rst's that use it its really good stuff and is very good at keeping the oil pressure up to spec! i myself have a s2 and wouldnt use anything else! turbo technics recommend it as well other outlets

The problem with RS 10w-60 is it's very thick, wasting paower and you pay top prices for a petroleum based oil. You can get a proper fully synthetic for the same money like Silkolene PRO S.

IMHO, it's poor value for money
