thak you oilman
is a problem if I use Castrol EDGE 0w-40 or 0w-30?
what brand you recommend for 5w-40?
my car has over 266000km
cheers

[oilman]

Castrol is fine, the 0w-40 would be a better choice, you could use the Edge TD 5w-40 as well, it's suitable for petrol and diesel

Silkolene Comp 4 10W-40?

Can this (4 stroke motorcycle) oil be used in a standard, low km, S2? (climate here is fairly mild with the coldest winter mornings 2 or 3 degrees and plenty of summer days in high 30's and a few low 40's)

Is there much difference between this and Silkolene PRO S 5W-40?

The reason I ask is that my local auto shop sells it for just over half the cost of any other ester based oil.

[oilman]

It can be but the equivalent of Pro S 5w-40 is this one if you can get it

Hallo guys!
I.m driving with LeMans MOTUL ,can anyone tell some words about it ,I tnink that is good oil for a 500hp engine,...?

[oilman]

Its a good oil, but unless you are doing endurance racing its not ideal.

The Motul 300v 15w-50 would be ideal.

Cheers

Aha...got it I'm kicking the pedal but not so hard as the rally style

Thank you very much,Guy!

[oilman]

The Castrol Edge is a good oil, but the Motul 300V is the next step up in quality

[rash]

...we use the MOTUL 15W-50 too
