bigbird Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Sorry for this, but i cant seem to find an answer by searching.... Which grade of oil do you recommend for my car? It's a 2006 blobeye with 5000 miles it. The book says 5w30, but what do owners say? Cheers. Link to comment
white RA Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 also what's best, full or semi synthetic? Link to comment
RS Grant Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 (edited) I run fully synthetic 15/50 Motul 300V in my Hawkeye STi. Cheers, Grant Edited April 29, 2008 by RS Grant Link to comment
fraser87uk Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Oils are completely dependant on engine types. Scoobs like fully synthetic, I love the Millers 10/60 - here >>> http://scoobyparts.com/acatalog/MILLERS_CFS_10w_60_OIL.html But dont think that all engines like fully synthetic. Say for example if you have a rotary engine which actually inject the oil into the engine to get burned then fully synthetic doesnt work well at all. They need stuff like mineral oil as it leave no deposits when burned. Just my 10 pence. Hope it helps bud. Link to comment

thewelsho Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 also what's best, full or semi synthetic? Fully synthetic for a Scooby (if Hypertech are to be believed ). Link to comment
