Recommended or Preferred choice of Oil!

[Kam_ali]

Hi, i just wanted to know what is the dealer recommended oil for the DC5 grade etc?

Also whats the preferred choice amongst enthusiasts?

I use Shell Helix Ultra 5w40.
Try the oil section mate

plus i use the Shell Helix stuff.

Any good fully synthetic brand is OK. Brands like Motul, Silkolene, Castrol etc.

0W-30 is often reccomended, but it is too thin for my liking. I use 5W-30 or 5W-40 Silkolene Pro S in mine.

Hope this helps.

Probably won't make much difference if its for topping up and change every 6k.

I guess the most common rating used so here is 5w40 then.

Andy, care to save some of the used oil and sell it on since its still going to be fairly clean with only 4k used. :lol:

:shock: :shock: Why are you using this stuff? It is way way out of grade for these cars, high revving V-techs do not like thick oils, its just going to lead to premature wear, lower power and higher fuel costs.

No need to go any thicker than a good SAE40.

Cheers
