GlanzaKidB77 Posted January 10, 2013 Author Posted January 10, 2013 Totally forgot about the first post, slipped my mind hahaThanks Quote
Starbuck Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 5w40 fully synthThat's what I'm running in my stage 2 forged td04. As recommended by TD Quote
GlanzaKidB77 Posted January 10, 2013 Author Posted January 10, 2013 Just been 4 places local to me and no one has any 5w40 fully synth. Only one I could find is halfords own lol you can forget that haha I'll order some in Quote
steve-gers Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Better off with millers, redline, golf, fuchs.......etc Quote
shorty Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Pmsl not fully lads!! They are older engines rebuilt or not. fully is to thin and ill argue to the death anyone who says otherwise! 10w-40 semi is perfect for our cars, as recomended by the late great mr Burwash! I've done over 10k on my forged engine and abussed it time and time again and its mint as fook inside and is still on the same shiney bearings,shells thrust washers etc. i personaly use mobil 1 and nothing but but thats an each to your own thing.

The Toffinator Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 If there rebuilt it makes them a new engine surely? Its all about tolerances and how the engine is designed, A decent fully synth is fine in our engines forged or not, I run fully and even beetween oil changes it doesnt drink ANY, Like zilch, Therefore its not too thin as it never gets used. It also stays clean which means its doing its job!But each to there own... Quote
mech5107 Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 I use only full synthetic. Now ENEOS 5w40 and plan to go for AMSoil Dominator 20w50. Quote
shorty Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 I dont mean nes by miles i.mean by technology and design. they are a 20odd year old design. semi synth is the oil that is best suited to our engines. and any oil comes out clead if its emptied often enough lol. Quote
turbo Grant Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 I've got 20w50 mineral oil on my forged engine and in my paseo. Mineral oil for me haha. Every one has a differnt opinion on what to use Quote
GlanzaKidB77 Posted January 13, 2013 Author Posted January 13, 2013 Went with Mobil super 3000 X1 5w40 fully synth. Anyone else use this? Quote
5T4R7ET N/A Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 ^^ i do, its pretty good so far. 5-40 gives better cold start protection. But I change to Mobil 2000 10-40 during summer. used for a long time now, very good stuff in my opinion. Quote
