Hi just realised its time for my oil change and didnt realise so ive gotta get it doen asap.

i dont want no arguments just want to know what make and viscocity oil everyone uses.. specially the tuners (harvey JGM etc) and the like..

ive always used motul 8100 x-cess 5w 40 100% synthetic from opie oils.. heres the link for oil and oil filter i get

Oil and Filter Service Pack SUBAC15D

can anyone recommend any better oil? i suppose the name and brand of oil that comes up most, ill give a go to see if its any better.

cheers

 

I use Silkolene Pro S 10w 50 on my 340bhp MY99

 

mutol 300v 15-40

 

Millers 10-40

No track work though.

 

cheers guys lol

no1s using the same oil lol come on classic guys post your oils

 

Another vote for Mutol 300v 15w-50

 

lol , whats difference between the 15/40 and 15/50 for motul?

 

I don’t think they do a 300v 15w-40
The 300v is a competition oil but probably to thick if used in very cold weather in the UK unless you keep the car warm in a garage

 

shell ultra sport full syn 10w/60w, good for road and track,

 

castrol gtx for me.

 

mobil1 15w/50 fully synthetic

 

15w-50 Silkolene as used by RCM

 

Millers 10-60

You will no doubt be sorry you asked.

 

Same oil, same bhp, same MY.

 

Just started using mobil 1 15/50 FS.

 

Silkolene Pro S 10w/50

 

I get my car serviced/repaired at Zen and they too use Millers 10W-40 or 10W-60.

I'm running 10W-60 (a little dearer than 10W-40, for the added hot-running protection). However, 10W-40 this time of year should be okay?

Bottom line, any decent 100% Ester fully synth e.g. Millers, Mocom, Motul, Silkolene (Fuchs)... And ranging anywhere between 5W-40 to 15W-60 would be okay I would have thought...

I think I'm correct in saying that Prodrive use Motul in their WRC Impreza(?)

 

millers 10-60 is 42 quid at my local car spares shop bargain me thinks

 

Motul 300V 15w/50.

If I haven't been able to get my hands on the above at the time of changing then I've used Silkolene Pro S 10w 50 or Millers 10w-60 as they are just as good.

 

Silkolene Pro S 10w 50 for me, have used this for many years now
