1996 Evo IV 64 thou miles P Reg
Hks Induction kit, Blitz Dual Bov and has been Remapped
Boost 1.5 to 1.6 bar (gauge looks like it's slightly out)

First of all nearly hundred percent sure N/S/F bearing is on the way out, turn right big noise and turn right sharply goes away, when travelling at consent speed there is a alot of noise from N/S hit 80+ one hell of alot of noise, so whats the best replace whole item with new or second hand, found new on camski for 140 squid is that good region to pay??? (new to evo, only 5 wks ha ha) Any help on this would be happy to recieve

Second question

What bloody oil best for this Evo, i'm being told 10-40 or 5-30 or 5-40 or 0-30 really confusing the hell out of me :confused::confused:

Mate put 10-40 in his evo iv was told quick change it and then told to put 5-40 in it, when he changed to 5 his tappets did quiten down. But hard to find 5-40 halfords only got 5-40 turbo diesel oil dont stock petrol version

so i'm really unsure about what oil, i really need a oil change quick (low on oil but don't know whats in it dont want to mix)

Many thanks and please make me Evo better ha ha

Looked at the Oil Recommendations and i get the jist that the norm use is 5w-40 looked on Opie oils and they have some Castrol Edge on special but every time i look at it in the shop its got Diesel Turbo printed in Big letters, is this the same oil as the petrol one or is there more/less addatives between them

many thanks for the opie link

Hi buddy,
Millers 10w40 is good enough to get the job done and Opie do have it a good price too so that is that.

As for your other question:

I suggest you look around a little harder buddy and see what prices you get elsewhere.

PM me your reg and contact number and I will make some enquiries on your behalf on Monday.

El

Hi All thanks for all your replys about the oil and thanks el for the reply on the bearing, just cant seem to find any bearing hubs cheaper than cams, not even cheaper on ebay, so i've sent you a pm mate, if you can help, would be most welcomed...
