She's due for an oil change, so firstly do you think it's just dirty, cheap oil causing this and what would be recommended?

Also would you suggest an engine flush and how do you carry these out?

Cheers,

Dom,

Do you know what oil is currently being run in the engine?

Cheers

Guy.

For a standard road car, you can't go wrong with one of these.

Hey oilman

This oil fine for a modded VTS for normal roads and trackdays?

Thanks

oilman · 26th May 2008, 22:22

thanks mate

i have a vtr with a green enclosed, 4-2-1 manifold and a cat back exhaust. do about 4k a year due to short journeys which include a few longer ones. its a road car and gets serviced twice a year. does see the odd high revs but mostly drive in the low revs. any sugestions? ta.

oilman · 28th May 2008, 17:24

5w-40 is ideal, have a look at Fuchs and Motul for good value. If you want the very best then you are looking at the ester based synthetics such as the Silkolene Pro S and the Motul 300v but they are expensive.

Forgot to say......

Got your oil from you, turns out me dad also uses you and i had o idea, cheers.

Would this be good for a 03 VTS, Fast road cams, Induction, Manifold.

And could you recommend an oil filter.

Hi,

Yes the Mobil 1 0w-40 is ideal, a god quality PAO synthetic.

For filter just use the look up guide on our site, we do Purolator which are oem spec and approved.

Cheers
