oilman Posted October 5, 2004 Author Share Posted October 5, 2004 Oh. sorry forgot to mention this: If your owner's manual calls for an SG rated oil, and you can’t find any oils that list the SG Rating, don’t worry. All API ratings are backward compatible. Therefore, an SL rated oil will be just fine for an SH, SG or SF rated vehicle. However, on a newer vehicle that calls for an SL rated oil, it is not recommended that you use an oil that does not indicate that it meets the SL standard.

Sharpie Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Thanks Simon I guess I should have read up a little more here http://api-ec.api.org/frontpage.cfm The 5w-40 would be a drop in thickness from the current 5w-50 that I use so, not for my old girl Very cold starts are not a problem for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 10 litres £61.69 incl vat and carriage. 20 litres £108.49 incl vat and carriage 6000 miles between changes but if it still looks good as new, is not gritty between the fingers or smells burnt, leave it in. Cheers Simon Are people following the 6k between changes or sticking with the old rules ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I have just clocked up 4k miles with the Silkolene PRO S 10w-50 without any problems but, just wanted to see if people are going that extra distance with it now ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Cant say Peter because we did the rebuild, but the oil was absolutely perfect when it was removed after 3-4k of hard work:thumbs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 If you like you could e-mail me Motul race oils prices, for 25 litre and larger sizes please? For engine and transmission. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilman Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 Pro S will actually run to 9000 miles or 10 track hours so 6000 miles is a pretty safe margin to be honest. For a full price list please email me: [email protected] Cheers Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
