Hi all.

Now I usually do some research on here before asking a question that will have already been asked, but as I've failed to find an answer here it is

Which oil are you lads using in a 2.1 Stroker at around 500bhp?

Its an engine tuner build, Wiseco forged pistons, K1 H beam forged long rods, 2.5 Crank, Cosworth bearings, RCM oil pump, Cosworth Baffle sump. 8.4 to 1 comp ratio

In the past I've used Millers CFS 10w40 or 10w50, and Motul 300v 10w40 or 15w50, on standard engines but running 400ish

So should I stick to 10w50 or 15w50 Fully synthetic race oil on a 2.1 running near 500bhp?

Thanks
Rob

 

Either motul 300 or nanodrive millers both in 10/50 bud

 

Cheers Ryan. Ill give camskill a bell unless you know if another? Is oli or whatever he's called still trade fluids on here?

Rob

 

Rob give Alyn a bell

300v would be either 10w40 or 15w50..............NT is very good also

a lot depends on your use and oil temps

Rob I live round the corner from Scott@ Camskills and use him for tyres but always use Alyn for oils etc as Banny has said give him a bell you wouln't be disappointed

 

Cheers for the replies and heads up lads.

Gussy who's Scott? Ive only even dealt with Mike (parts inc Oil) and Nathan (tyres) Either a new guy unless I just happen to have Mike's direct number

Alyn, what do you need to know? The car isnt used for A-B very much really, but will be used for competing in, mainly sprints.

From memory the oil temp at the moment is steady at 80-85, raising to 90 when its feathered.

Rob

 

Bump for Alyn

 

far better ringing the office or emailing me direct Rob as i dont get on here all the time (and very limited at the mo especially due to the workload we currently have)

will have all options on the shelf and "next day" delivery is the norm
