Harry Flatters Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 Has anyone got any comments on Comma Syner-G vs Syner-Z. Both are approved by Caterham. Z seems to be the lastest one R500 et al. I've always used G. I have a 2L VXL 200+bhp. Steve Mell PTM 88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFA Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 Steve - SynerG unless you exceed 8000rpm. (or 8500 if you have external pressure pump) Then Mobil 1 15/50 is recomended. SynerZ will give you poor oil pressure at hot idle. Its not recomended for R500's any more (hint...)

KayTee Posted January 27, 2002 Share Posted January 27, 2002 And how about in a BDA? 1600 short-stroker yodeling up to 8300? (dry-sumped, if this is a hint?) Thanks ! - Karsten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dartmoor7 Posted January 27, 2002 Share Posted January 27, 2002 >SynerZ will give you poor oil pressure at hot idle. Its not recomended for R500's any more (hint...) But then, Caterham's oil recommendations change regularly depending on who is giving them the cheapest OEM deal anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFA Posted January 27, 2002 Share Posted January 27, 2002 I think the reccomendation to move to Mobil came from Minister. It would certainly appear the Caterham are still well min bed (am I dreaming....) with Comma, but Comma do not make a 15/50. The higher hot visco rating reduces the risk of the std pressure pump cavitating the oil at high engine speeds.

Phil Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 Hi all conserned, please take time to read my comments given on oil under the heading Syner G in a zetec and if you have any questions you would like to ask me on oil i will try to answer them. My experiance is based on selling oil for the last 15 years and being told many things by many reps from many companies and there special catchy terms used for selling it like Hypergrade.Any oil worth looking at will be graded by the Americans........
