rj Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 5w40 is fine for road. For track I'd recommend 10w50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Nick Bassett Posted April 11, 2019 Area Representative Share Posted April 11, 2019 I always use Comma 5W 50 which is the recommended grade - changed every year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rj Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I change for every trackday - that was nine times last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Nick Bassett Posted April 11, 2019 Area Representative Share Posted April 11, 2019 Yes probably good practice for trackdays rj - if you have a DS that's quite a bit of extra work although I'm sure you have it finely honed to a 'T' now!

rj Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Shouldn't be to bad: There's a drain plug in the tank and another in the sump pan. Not much worse than wet sump with apollo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 wonders of the world Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Or change to oil how we used to on rally cars, remove return hose to tank and place in a bucket, start up and keep topping up the tank, admittedly we had a plentiful supply of oil and could afford to purge a few litres through - but the oil change was completed in double quick time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottR400D Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 I thought Millers was now recommended, since they started to sponsor some of the racing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
