Carlube triple R
Has anyone ever run it in a vtr?
Just bought some of the 5w-40 fully synthetic stuff.
What did you think of it?
Thanks

I looked at some of the spec sheets on Carlube stuff a while back and it seemed to be not that great in terms of quality. Dunno how exactly the Triple R is though.

oh dear 
The only reason I'm changing it is because of my track slot at fcs.
Anything will be better than the 10-40 semi halfords stuff i was running before.
But I shall see how it goes, heard mixed reviews some people say its rubbish some people say it's fine if changed every 5k.

Lets face it, youre probably not going to bake it in one short track spell.

Carlube stuff ain't done me any harm, used to run it in the 106, run it now in the Mazda. (Think the Mazda might actually be on Halfords fully atm.  )
