Roadsport06 Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 It is their 5w50 oil, not too thick when cold and not like water when hot. It is the same as Caterham's oil. BRG and Yellow nose VU06 XZX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom_C Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I've put the 5W50 in mine as it's the same price and is recommended even on 120bhp cars for track use. the standard stuff was showing a drop in oil pressure when hot. BTW please give generously to Bundle's Big Charity Walk for Asthma research here Ta. Cheers Tom FH54WLX see here - UPDATED again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
