[sjm1984]

As title really

i'm needing to do an oil change next week before it goes for mapping.

Previously i have used 5-40 Sikalone pro (titan) but on a forged build would i have to go with another grade?

car is used on weekends and for fast road use and some track use (1/4 mile and track days)

Any suggestions as oilman has a good deal on for this weekend

Always used the silkolene pro or mobil1 myself and had no problems.

Millers Competition 10-40 fully synetic?

Shouldnt a new build be run in on mineral oil before changing to fully synth?

[prosser]

If hes getting it mapped i would presume the engine is already run in

[sjm1984]

the engine has done 2k and a few oil changes.

I used Mobil 1 15w50 motorsport oil in my old car. Cracking oil.

Silkolene pro R always did me well... although the new Gulf stuff is good, and reasonably priced.
