oil issue!

[harry_hood]

Been told that the millers 10/60 oil that i have been using on the wagon is the wrong stuff.is this true as the previous owners had been using this for the last couple of years,what is everyone else using?

[drb5]

Sounds the perfect stuff for me!

[jcscoob]

Im on the millers 10/60

[colin_ross]

Not millers but I'm on 10/60 too.

[Gumball]

,illers 15/50

hypertech suggest this

awd suggest

10/60 ( i think)???

dont know what the difference is

[RA Dunk]

im on millers 10/60 recommended by wallace performance

[paddy247]

millers 10w/60 for me.

A unmodified uk turbo will manage fine on 10w/40

sti and modified beasts like 10w/60 or 10w/50

[wilky]

10/60 is what I have always been advised to use, Millers, castrol, valvoline.

I notice that newer cars with VVT seem to prefer 15/50. Dont know if there is a connection.

Perhapes our resident encyclopedia Squirrel or the Oilman may be able to help???

lol it was oilman who has me worried about the 10/60,he seems to know what he is on about

[Oilman]

It's not the Millers bit but the 10w-60 that worries me.

Just too thick for this car IMHO.

You won't find sae 60 mentioned in the handbook, more likely 30, 40 or 50.

Cheers

Oilman, how much are you for 5 liter's ? or a group buy ?

Of witch oil ?

[harry_hood]

Found a 5 litre of millers XFS 5/50 fully synthetic is this oil ok for the scooby?

[paddy247]

Theres a lot you wont find mentioned in the handbook,

I think 10w/60 speaks for itself and has been proven as suitable

[craigdmcd]

I think you'll find that although 10w60 is doing no harm to the engine, it has been proved that changing to a good 5w40 can provide up to a 10bhp increase as it isn't as thick and doesn't cause as much drag in the engine.

I personally like the reassurrance of a slightly higher viscosity in a tuned vehicle, so use Silkolene 10w50.

thanks for reminding me what im going back to on thursday gumball!! Now depressions really set in!!

[Gumball]

sorry mate...

thats the worst feeling in the world in my experience, especially when your leaving your wife/partner to go and do it. it used to make me feel sick.

now TBH i would be able to handle it no bother cos i live myself and only have SIDC round to keep me amused.

[WUZ]

Could be worse.......I could be your driller

I make my guys call it on the PA every 5 mins when going through sands ( we are underbalance drilling right now). Keeps them on their toes (and pisses them off as well....I love a good wind up) but they are Indians after all

Does that make me a "cowboy" ?

Graham Goode Racing recommend Millers 10w50.

M8, these "curry eating vegans" are too busy "doing" each other to worry about having me!

I only do it to have an excuse to wind them up! I have to as sitting in a Air-Conditioned Doghouse for 12 hours really drains you

OH! how I miss working in the North Sea.............................................................NOT

class.

like as i mentioned to someone the other day on teh run....when i was a guardsman and we mounted gaurd at buckingham palace after the Ghurkas, all the bunk beds were placed side by side.

we though this strange then it dawned on us that they werent just mounting queens guard but also mounting each other

clearly from there on in, we didnt look at them on the forecourt, but they didnt know cos we always remained expresionless and looked straight ahead only anyway.

Yes M8 - you mentioned this to me and I got a little worrying and turned my arse down hand so as to prevent a certain someone from "copping a feel"

[WUZ]

Sourcing an new "agent Mcleish" by chance HA!HA!
