Oil recommendation!

Post by RandomDan »

Im getting some conflicting info on the google so i thought id ask opinions here.

Which oil do you use in you N/A and why?
My thought was just some 10-40 semi synth GTX magnatec or the like.
Its not thrashed around but daily used even this time of year :)

Give Opie oils a call, they in the traders section. Were incredibly helpful for me on selecting oil and took the condition of the engine and use into account to get the grade right (lots of track use and motorsport) but with yours being road only the normal grade may be best.

They did have some good deals though and I saved a fair wedge when getting all the fluids for the car over normal retail prices.

10w 40 is perfectly fine. :thumleft: preferrably fully synth.

But semi isn't going to do any harm. :wink:

I put Shell HX7 in my old MR2.

New one has some fancy Castrol stuff in.

I can't tell the difference, both do the job!
