dont use magnatec! its shit, used it in one of my 19's a while back and it made it all tappety

INDY · 30th January 2007, 05:59 PM

**Neal** · 30th January 2007, 06:01 PM

Comma Lite seems to be the fave atm

**Wicked Neo** · 30th January 2007, 06:02 PM

iirc chris recomends the comma stuff, i used GTX last oil change and that was better, but still a little tappety, next oil change i'm gonna try the comma 10/40 stuff

I filled her up with GTX, but for some reason you cant seem to find it in the shops anymore :s has it been disctd?

I do believe the comma lite Chris likes comes in a yellow bottle. Ive used the Eurolite which is pictured on the first change I done on the car, deffo ran quieter and the last change I put in some Millers XSS 10w40. Bit expensive from the local factors but its lasting abit better than the comma.

i used 10/50 8quid from factors some dephi stuff cheap enough to change regularly

ORSE.16V · 31st January 2007, 09:08 AM

Whatever you do, DONT ask renault which is the best oil to use...they're as good as a Japanese tour operator!

I use fully syn 5W40 Carlube oil. Its good for winter, we hahe here somedays -25C and 10W40 is not good in this weather.
