Im changing the oil in my98 type r this week in readyness for a track day next sunday.

Iv ordered Millers 15w/60 CFS will this be ok??

Also ordered a genuine filter and sump washer.

 

 

Hi V2
Do a search There has been some very informative posts about oils recently . Personally the only concern with your choice of oil I would have is the 15w rating from what I have read, And I may well be corrected . It will not give the best startup/cold weather protection, so just make sure you fully warm up your engine before any spirited driving
Regards Matt

 

Cheers Matt the engine always gets lots of respect when cold anyway

 

What does that 15W mean? I use Mobil One 15W / 50 in my track day classic that has been slightly modified to produce around 320 BHP - I dont use the car for much else, but do drive to events summer and colder winter months.

 

15w stands for the viscosity of the oil at cold temprtures for a full explanation do a search of "16 important OIL questions answered! .
As a general rule for performance cars should run a fully synthetic 5 or 10w -40w
"

 

Mine will be getting fully synthetic 15/50 but as said allways alow it to warm up
