any fully synthetic 10W40 oil will be fine although a purer better quality one is only the type i would use/recommend. On the track though it would be better to use a 15W50 but depends how you drive.to me that oil seems to be too thin. i would put 15W50 in. unless someone else can suggest otherwise. ________________________________________ Team allesclar ® |

Iv seen that total quarz 7000 would that cope well with going around the nurburgring at a fast pace? ________________________________________ Black rallye |

It will  and your chosen oil will be fine.People who say oils are 'too thin' generally don't understand how the numbering system works. ________________________________________ Rich |
