Default 2.5 burning alot of oil - what oil do you recomend.

My classic 2.5 is currently runing very well

However it burns alot of oil.

It does however spend a fair bit of time above 100mph

Currently using castrol magnatec 5w 30.

Do you think I should try another oil? would 10w 40 see the consumption go down? If so anyone got a recomendation for a fully synethetic oil?

Thanks

Wrong oil! If your going to stick with castrol only use the 10W60 Edge Sport...

Motul 300v 15w50, about as thick as you want to go on a scoob really dont rate the 5w30 oil, not really good....
