Re: what oil should i use
I use fully syn 15w 50. Thats the Mobil 1 stuff. Its quite pricey but im told its a good oil. I did use 5w 40 but my engine has seen over 100k so i opt for a slightly thicker oil.
Re: what oil should i use
10W40 fully synth
Re: what oil should i use
You wont go wrong with Silkolene Pro S 5w-40 from www.opieoils.co.uk
Re: what oil should i use
+1 for the Pro-s 5w40. My car has been run on it for the past 30,000 miles and is silky smooth.
Surely a 50w oil is far too thick for these engines? the sticker in the engine compartment specifies 5w-30 from the factory.

Can I use this weight oil in a rev 3 tubby also? And is a 5litre tub enough?

Mobil 1 Fully Syn 0w40 from Costco £28 for 5 L
Re: what oil should i use
Another one for 10w40 semi-synthetic (I use castrol magnatec) -had this in my gen 2 3SGE, my gen 4 3SGE, my gen 3 3SGTE and now my 2JZGTE. Also used it in my civic years ago. Good enough oil for the price and availability -but I do do at least 2 changes a year.
Re: what oil should i use
My advice would be to ask the expert.

This man speaketh the truth ^^^^
Fully synthetic, ester based Silkolene 10/40 for me. Oil is the engines life blood, scrimping on it is a bad move in my opinion.
