AndyPandy Posted June 15, 2002 Share Posted June 15, 2002 0w40 or 5w50..? in a 2001 standard superlight Thanks teeth.gif Superlight 143 teeth.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 15, 2002 Share Posted June 15, 2002 10w/40 semi is the standard oil I believe but you would do better with a 0w/40 fully. Comma is the best buy for the 0w/40 grade in a Comma container or made by Comma in a halfrauds can. Mobil 1 0w/40 is about £33 but the same from Castrol called RS with a picture of Ralph Shuemacker on the front is only £28, same spec, same size. 5w/40 F/synth is normaly sold in five litre packs and is around £28 so a good buy but I am not sure who does the 5w/50 aprt from Castrol.

Michael Peterson Posted June 16, 2002 Share Posted June 16, 2002 Check the posts from a week or two back and I think you will find a thread on oil for the X-flow which contains some good info. I believe Mobil make a full synth they call Mobil One Motorsport in the 0w50 or 5w50 range. Cheers!

OAP Posted June 16, 2002 Share Posted June 16, 2002 Andy Pandy, You the Welsh Andy who tried my HPC last year? Glad to hear you bought one in the end (you should have bought mine of course!)

John Vine Posted June 16, 2002 Share Posted June 16, 2002 When the factory serviced my 1.8SS a few months back, they replaced the old Syner-G with Syner-Z. When I queried this, I was told that they were near as dammit the same anyway. JV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyPandy Posted June 16, 2002 Author Share Posted June 16, 2002 OAP, It might have been me,I tried alot of cars in the end.The best HPC had about 206bhp,went like stink and lived (If I can remember correctly)with a 2CV in a mansion by the sea smile.gif Does that sound familiar David question.gif Did you get an SLR after..? I would have bought yours but I got seduced by McClaren orange sorry..! Cheers Andy teeth.gif Superlight 143 teeth.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OAP Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 Andy, Yes, it was mine , and I still miss it! but it has been replaced with an SLR with roller barrels - registered on 1st June, just getting run in and showing a lot of promise. 13inch wheels and sticky Avons provide an odd sensation - always staying in contact with the road - after the 16inch concrete Michelins - but I guess I'll get used to it in time. The 2CV still awaits my attention - too many other distractions! OAP God is my co-pilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
