Silkolene Pro S 10w-50 from opieoils....................super stuff.

Had a really bad experience using Mobil1 on 2 occasions with other cars, NEVER use that again.......

If you are standard spec ?, a 10W40 would be ine, but if you like some foot down a 50 weight would be better.

I didnt like the silkolene at all... engine was a bit noisier on it and the oil pressure dropped to much for my liking after a hard thrashing,

Millers 10/60 or castrol edge 10/60 for me.

I'm using the millers 10W60 next, as mine gets noisy with moby and pro s, but has many miles on bottom end.
Best one I ever used is SUNOCO RACING, but hard to get hold of a lot of the time.
