Dblock Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 What does the engine take. I'm sure my sport was 0-30 or 0-40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danyutz Posted July 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 last time i got castrol 10w40 - mine isn't a sport and it's got 192k km, can't put 0-30/40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be preferable to get something A3/B 4 rated though Edited July 6, 2014 by Defcon5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Indeed. It would be preferable to get something A3/before rated thoughGood point although most oils meet and exceed acea or other accreditation if it's decent. I use Fuchs Titan race and it covers pretty much everything I need it for 505.01 507 229.1 LL01 and LL03. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dblock Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Il give that a read. It's a Shane it's so expensive but id love to get oil analysis done. You drop your oil. Send it to a lab and they give you a complete break down if what your oil and engine is doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
