Get the Fuchs 5w40 you only need the 50 if you are on track all the time and get high oil temps

I use millers triple ester 10/60w as it offers great protection at top end and abusive driving. The 10/50w your are thinking to getting is also a very good competiton oil but the 10/60w is better for little difference in price. I run this oil in a fully forged engine. You can use a 5/40w oil in a standard evo engine, 10/50w or 10/60w oils are more for race/competition use and offer less viscosity loss. Personally i would use the 10/50 or 10/60 ester syn oils and change the oil every 4k or after every track event. Lucas, millers, fuchs, valvoline are very good oils that i tend to use often.

I used the miller 5w40 Nanodrive did make a noticeable difference in my 4 and my 8 when I put it in.

the nano made better gear change in my box, will certainly try nano in my engine the next oil change

the last service I had the CRX NT 75-90 put into my gear & trans box & rear diff. The veeeeery minor wine on de acceleration from the trans i had is gone a shifts lovely, especially when it gets driven hard and the gearbox warms up. no shift problems what so ever

 

[bandit]

thanks for all the suggestions,it gets a liitle confusing with all the different types of oil etc:blush:think im gonna try the fuchs/silkolene 5w40

 

[Phil74]

your welcome mate and take it your buying it from the oilman?

 

[Deco]

Does anyone use the 10/60 castrol?

 

[Phil74]

Yes i have and bought it in 20 litre drum. Know a few rally drivers that have used it and no complaints but its cheap whne buying it in 20 litre drums. I still like lucas and millers the best though.

no phil,i live about a mile or so up the road from roger clark motorsport,altho looking at the oils on thier website i cant see any 5w40:sad:

 

[Phil74]

You can get it in halfords or most motor factor stockists.

 

[Phil74]

oilman has it on his web site also and its not expensive.

 

[bandit]

i never seen any silkolene/fuchs or millers etc in halfords! i"ll pop in tomorrow tho and have a proper look.

 

[Phil74]

naw they have 5/40 in castrol there but they dont do millers or silkolene in the halfords up here in halfords. Oilman does them and delivered to you and know some oils are on offer from him plus you have forum discount code. Could work out cheap for you in his web site.
