Hi can anyone tell me what oil i should use for my hawkeye sti 2.0 running around 350bhp? Currently using castrol edge 10w 60
Thanks

 

Is it a 2.0 JDM motor?

 

Hi yes it is

 

Speak to Alyn on here, or

The gauge all depends on your mods, use, and age/mileage of the car.

A standard motor would usually be on say a semi 10w40, or a fully 5w40.

Loads of choice

Posted in the wrong section. You'll get better response in the General Technical section although the above post pretty well sums it up.

Hi

I would use a good 5w-40 synthetic.

Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS/CFS NT, Motul 300V, Red Line and Gulf Competition.

Cheers

5w40?? I was thinkin id use millers 10w60 race oil next. No good?
Thanks

 

It's a good oil, but too thick.

There are a few people on here that disagree with that though, so it's a case of making your own mid up.

Well i suppose theres no harm in trying the 5w40 tim. In your opinion what oil make would be the best for my car?
Thanks

 

Here are the ones that we have.

You have asked the same question I was thinking of asking. Just getting a 2.1 stroker with Jdm big port heads built up. It will be running a sc5" billet turbo. Got millers nano 10w60 for after run in but what oil should i use to run it in and how often to change ?

 

Hi

I would use this to run it in.

When it's ready, I'd use a 10w-50.

The Nanodrive CFS is, on paper, the best oil available, but the Pro S and CFS are both really good oils, so all are good choices for your car.

Cheers
