Default Oil ?

I've read a lot of different reviews about what oil the S should take. I plan to get some oil for it tomorrow and i wondering what is the best type of oil to put in it.

Also, anyone know of any good sites where i can get new mats?

Thanks in advance

Loads of threads on oil, do a search.

I use Motul oil but read the FAQ's they should be able to help you.

Everyone had there own favorites but best thing to do is stick to the correct grade as stated in the book that came with the car and make sure its properly fully synthetic after your run in period.

I usually use a good semi-synth (Magnatec etc). However, I have just used some Silkolene Pro S that I had lying around.

I honesly can't see there being any difference, and since I change my oil every 3-4k miles, it's always fresh

I have heard that factor 2 bronzing oil acts as a much more heat-stable way of lubricating the engine of high revving cars and is much cheaper too. It's worth considering. Unless you want your engine to work that is...

I've heard cement dust is a fantastic additive....

Sorry - another oil thread!

An FAQ was created for this reason...

For top up, find out what's in there already. For oil change take you pick.

But read the FAQ in technical
