Asad Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 10w40 semi, then throw in some 5w40 fully synthetic after the run-in period Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan507 Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 that sounds about right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 I've been advised, and found via some Google searches that Mineral oil is the best to use? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan507 Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 i'd say 5-30 or something lite for the running in process. at work are computer lists 10-40 s/synthetic for stock 4efte. we only sell mineral oil if the customer is flushing the engine out or if its a diesal.Edit: spelling....kinda tiered Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Best ask some of the traders i guess.....what have you got in it now? as soon as you turn the key within the first 20min the process of bedding in has started Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 Yeah it has, I just can't drive it because it has no windows and isn't insured. Let it idle a few times but not going to do that again until I can drive it.I put 15w40 mineral oil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 best to get a confimation, change the oil and then start her up when everythings ready.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ktl Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 10w40 mineral oil from Halfordsthen on the 1000miles use 10w40 semi/fullythis is what i did Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GTnomez Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Is the oil dependant on the running in style? I plan to give mine death (well not quite) by doing the harsh run in. I assume i will have to use a different grade?I did read my self mineral was best for a run in Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 i did 10w40 mineral, then straight onto 10w40 Purps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
