Service Classification: ACEA A2 B2 API SL CF"" what does "synthetic technology" or "synthestic blend" mean. Is this oil a semi synthestic oil a basic mineral oil- The product description does say siuitable for turbo charged cars so is it OK for a Supra. Need to know as I can get this stuff very very cheap.

Fifty Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Oil=very cheap; engine=very expensive! This comma oil is not a good idea methinks; isnt this the stuff you used to get in Kevin Coopers ie motor factors. Do yourself a big favour IMHO get Valvoline/Mobil etc not this. 52:thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilman Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 It's semi-synthetic, in other words a more refined mineral oil. Acea Specs give away suitability, you need A3 or A5. Go and get yourself a decent oil would be my advice, saving on oil is a false economy in the long run. The current specifications are: A1 Fuel economy petrol A2 Standard performance level A3 High performance and/or extended drain A4 Reserved for future use in certain direct injection engines A5 Combines A1 fuel economy with A3 performance Cheers Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Good advice, I used to put Comma stuff in my lawn mower then the engine seized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 i know a dude that uses magnatec on his supra (twin turbo) and has been since it came out.... never had a problem... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Comma on the supe? I don't think so... I'd treat it as bog-standard dyno stuff. OK for topping-up in an emergency etc, but not suitable for a turbo, it will probably start coking in the turbo bearings from the word 'go' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilman Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 If it was my car, I wouldn't. Cheers Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need4Speed Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Isn't Comma made from that stuff we all chuck at the "recycling" centre? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
