[Mk2] [Turbo] Oil?????

Post by z1ggy_1987 »

Hi, I have searched and searched and there are a lot of different answers.

I have a 1992 rev 2 turbo with 75k on the clock, what oil would you recommend and would I need fully or semi synthetic? What's the difference between fully and semi synthetic?

Oilman AKA the forum face of company Opie Oils posted a good thread about synthetic oils versus semi synths.

He will also provide you all the info you could ever want about any fluid for the mr2.

The Silkolene Pro S is 40 quid on opie, a bargain for one of the best oils you can buy. Someone will be along to say semi is ok and it had it when it was new but I don't personally agree with it.
No 2 :(

10w40 semi-synth Magnatec. Change it at least twice a year, oil filter at least every second time (genuine filter).

That's what I do ....eeek :shock:

That's exactly the same as me.

Every so often, halfords runs a promo on that oil, 2 for £35 - bargain
