Question


I know its been covered 1000s of times but im sure i read on here somewhere Mobil 1 15/50 might be a cure to stop the famous rattttttllleee. Been using Castrol Magnatec up to now. Is Mobil 1 better.. Also i presume use Semi Synthetic , and wot about a flush guy.

Mobile 1 for me has the best results in the legacy and i tried the lot.Right now im using castrol rs 10-60 its good but not as good as mobile 1.As for flush i think its a good idea but other people disagree.As far as magnetec goes the less said the better. LEGGY

If it's a TT Legacy, don't use Mobil 15/50.

Castrol 10/60 would be better.

The twin turbo Legs don't suffer the dreaded tttttappets. I used a 15/50 by Carlube/Triplex with a Wynns additive and it worked great for a couple thousand miles.
