I'm gonna give my rallye an oil change this weekend! And just wondered what oil to go for? As above, it's a standard engine used for fast road use!

Did do a search but couldn't find anything!

Am I right in thinking a 10-40! Worth going for a fully synthetic or just sticking with a semi synthetic?

I splashed out and put 0w-40 fully synth mobil one in mine. Noticed it gets up to temperature from cold much quicker than with the 10w-40 which can only be a good thing IMO.

it was meant to be £50 but when cosmic spanner walked in donning a his leather jacket, they didn't want trouble, or to become the subject of ridicule, so they just gave it him cheap Yes

Mine didn't like Total 9000 5W40. It seemed to drink it.

Doesn't use a drop of 10W50 Pro-S

interesting. Ive got 5w40 fully synth in mine and it does seem to use about half a litre every 6k. I do do a fair bit of miles. Engine returns good mpg. Is that oil consumption similar to what you had when using it? Car does purr when it has a belly full of oil and more mechanical when revving when it needs topping up.

Can't say I noticed an increase in oil consumption when switching to quartz 9000, will keep a close eye on it when I get it back on the road though. Got 3 bottles of it off ebay for approx. 57 delivered :tup

Exactly the same. To be fair I'm sure the manual says that 0.5l per 6k is about right but I didn't like it.

i run 10w 50 mobil 1 motorsport in the track car, runs at 92 degree according to the spa oil temp gauge. (with a cooler)

standard engine may as well just run 10w 40 imo
