flyin_scouseman Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 As you're TT you're better off with something like 10w50 Silkolene Pro S or if ya feeling a bit wealthy, then get yo' self into toyota and get their 10-50W semi synthetic engine oil... 5Litres and you only need about 3.5Litres of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 or if ya feeling a bit wealthy, then get yo' self into toyota and get their 10-50W semi synthetic engine oil... 5Litres and you only need about 3.5Litres of that no offense, but why would you get a semi synthetic? i know it's Toyota's but still..... would be better with a fully synthetic like Silkolene no?

In a prefect world something like 0w in winter would be best. But for older enginers its too thin and can be more prone leak past the turbo seals and valve stem seals if they're worn.

But for older enginers its too thin and can be more prone leak past the turbo seals and valve stem seals if they're worn. so its basically whether you want the faster lubricating 5w in colder weather or the 10w that won't leak past seals so easily. and yes, hopefully he is taking the mickey...
