  1. merc's to have a tendency to blow rads internally and you get a mix from the gearbox oil into the coolant as the gearbox cooler is in the rad. Head Gaskets on the v8's a common too....does sound though like you have a spot of emulsification within the breather system...this is common from a car being left standing and condensation is the culprit. Just needs a good run and then an oil change if the build up is not too bad. Have you tried looking through the merc forums on the web? lots of info there. good luck!
  2. you need to look under the jap spec on the castrol site!
  3. Hi.... it a 96 rz-s. Thanks for the relpy, good to see we have the same taste in colour supe at least:cool:
  4. thanks all for the input, i too had thought this at first, but this is what i have actually found using this oil 1,no smoke what so ever on start up or running 2, no signs of any weeping around the seals 3, oil pressure is the same as it was before and i was expecting a bit of a drop especially when hot 4,the oilman here also gave this the thumbs up for my spec 5,it is now quieter on first start up . So all things considered it was a good move more me, what i can tell you that it took me about a year to source a genuine low mileage imported TT and with all the service history and the proof is in the pudding when it comes to things like this..oh iam the first owner since import and saw the car pretty much off the boat ;-) Look here as the castrol web recommends 0-30, I've gone 0-40 as i have a few mods:sly: http://www.castrol.com/castrol/iframe.do?categoryId=9024084&contentId=7044829 You all have to remember that we all are probably using different viscosity oils as we are all at different stages of tuning, so what good for one may not be good for another and don't believe everything you read on here as its only a guide line...and some take what other people say as Gospel, personally i prefer my own judgement as i have been in the motor trade now for 23 years+ and at different levels from prototype building for manufacturers to regular stuff, not that i don't listen to what people have to say;) Iam going on a bit now:rolleyes:happy Easter every one:)
  5. shame your not selling the tein's...looks very nice mate.
  6. hi all, did an oil change this week and used castrol edge sport 0-40w fully synthetic...what a difference to what i was using (10-30 semi-synthetic). The turbo's spools sooooooooo much quicker and the engine sounds better too. I would highly recommend it if you were ever thinking of trying some:) might even be tempted to go full bpu now:eyebrows:

    I had some made up at a paint place that i use and i found the halfords one was a closer match out of the can? even when i gave them the fuel flap to match it up with!?? Bodyshop got the job in the end..this was only to tidy up the door mirrors and bonnet scoop and spats, they too had the fuel flap as a match and they come back perfect:)
