What oil should I use?

[ApexHunter]

Redline or German Castrol synthetic. The GC is hard to find, most Castrol synthetic you will find is produced in the U.S.

Eneos or elf !

 

10w30 mobil 1 full syn.

I use Mobil 1 in both cars. 10-40 in 503 and 15-50 in 1051.

75w90. sh*t never comes on the bearings. Never have to worry about dry bearing on start up /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hsugh.gif

Mobile 1 10w-30 in summer, Mobil 1 5w-30 in winter. Not sure I think heavier weights like 20w-50 are a good idea.

That all depends on what power level you are at and if you have a bshaft eliminator kit. On the higher power cars running no bshafts you need to run a heavier weight oil to help support the oil pump gears.

Ok thanks! One more thing. Oil filter. I hear Wix is very good?

Wix are good, as are Napa gold filters, which are practically the same. I use the Napa golds on both my cars.
