3B oil recommendations?

[dm80]

I've heard it's not a good idea to use Magnatec - what's the usual recommendation? I've a '92 3B. Cheers.

Any 10W60 oil, preferably Millers or Castrol RS

[dan_b]

I second that - 10W 60 oil is the way forward. Castrol RS comes in 4L bottles, but Millers comes in 5L bottles, so that works out better value in the end.

[s2driveruk]

yup third'd Not used Millers...yet but RS seems to look after temperature and pressure very well, much better than 10-40 or similar especially over the summer months.

[DJ-ROY]

there can be only one.....Castol RS 10w 60

[Jamo]

Millers is just as good and cheaper than castrol rs for 5l's not 4l's

Castrol RS has gone up in price in the U.K

At my last change I had Mobil1 - any thoughts folks?

My thought - how long before I can go to the pub...

[Keeper of The Kitten]

Mmmm!

Perhaps I should have asked: any opinions on Mobil1?!!

The Mobil 1 0w-40 is too thin! They do a 15w-50 but i haven't tried that or heard anything about it being used in our engines. Anyone tried the 15w-50?

[Keeper of The Kitten]

I'll check this out, IIRC it's not 0w-40 as I didn't want oil that thin either!

i`m using Valvoline 10-60 racing oil .works ok for me.

[PeteRR]

Or how about Silkolene Pro-S 10W-50, or Pro-R 15W-50. Comes in 5L too!

Or how about Silkolene Pro-S 10W-50, or Pro-R 15W-50. Comes in 5L too!

Silkolene is good oil, used to use it, then I went over to Casrol RS.

Now I'm back with Silkolene and using the Pro-R 15W-50, and I am happy with it.

Hmmm.. ta for the recommendations. Interestingly Castrol themselves recommend Magnatec 10w 40 for the S2.. any thoughts?
