DMorris Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Is Silkolene Pro S 10-50 a good (and perhaps better) alternative to CC 5-50? Track / road mixed use. Regards Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billyboy Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Not sure IF its just scare mongering BUT the Dry Sump needs the 5w 50 so I have been told........ Why would you want to change? price? I have just secured a case cost of 85.00 for 4 x 5l IF and when I need it Locally....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I think it wise that the recommended 5W 50 syn oil is used in the CSR. I read the 'oilman' threads in depth and with interest (here here) and the only oil that I considered as a possible alternative was the Fuchs Titan Supersyn 5W 40 link here here. However, I still use the Caterham 5W-50 oil, but have become better educated thanks to the oilmans advice! I believe it wise to change it every 3000miles road or significantly more frequent if you are a track user. It may be cautious but that’s just fine by me. Note Silkolene Pro S is now called Fuchs Titan Supersyn I believe. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Escargot Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 You could try Mobil 1 5w - 50 motorsport (yes 5w - 50!). It is available direct from Wessex oils at Fawley refinery (good price too + they deliver) Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
