Ian W Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 im using silkolene 5w-40 or the 10w-50 is the one to use. yep, one of these two mate. i'd probably go with the 10w-50 on your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chiefvinso Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I found opie oils to be expensive for silkolene pro 10w 50. Bought mine from revolutions, opie might be cheaper nw as this was over 3 months ago. I would go with 10w 50, thats what I'm using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wez_p Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 there's a nice sticky here http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=56684 that gives some good recommendations. silkolene for regular use & valvoline for those who only do short journeys (been considering trying this for my next oil change since i normally only do short journeys, but have been happy with the silkolene for that last year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
