Quick help needed re: Oil
 

Hi guys

Just checked my levels and found i need to top up my oil but i dont know what Mocom used on my last service.

On there website it says Motul fully synthetic either 10w40 or 15w50 dependant on usage.

I remember Luke asking me if i done track days, to which i replied no, so which one would of he put in?

Cheers

I defo have 10/40 in my Spec D and 15/50 in my classic.:)

Doesn't tell you what's in yours though.

Ive got a feeling it would be the 10w40. Sod it i'll get it and if i go bang it'll be a good excuse for a 2.5!

Give Zak a call and find out. ;)

check oil filter. Zalk used to write what oil was used on it.

so does fully synth 10w40 actually exist? Been to a few places and cant see it. Only found part synth 10w40. Plenty of fully synth 15w50 though!

So im still confused ! :brickwall

Looks like if i want to buy Motul 10w40 i'll have to order of tinterweb as regular places like Halfords dont sell if

Big favour - if anyone has Zak or Lukes personal number, can they text to ask what grade oil they use on a non track my03 STI? as i'll need to order asap

edit - or point them in the direction of this thread

Do ABW do oil?

Yes but possibly not Motul.

Taken from another thread.

Mark ;)

if i just need 1/2 litre top up, does it really matter if i dont use Motul? Other fully synthetic will be OK wont it?

15) If you need to top up your engine oil, how important is it to use exactly the same brand and type?

Not very important at all. Unfortunately, due to ‘arse covering’ reasons we cannot print this advice on the can! Although officially all manufacturers advise against mixing different makes and grades, in fact there is very little chance of any harm being done, even if one is a mineral 20W/50 and the other is a 5W/30 synthetic. Obviously, avoid this if you can, but do not panic if there’s no other alternative. Just don’t mix 2 stroke and 4-stroke oil!
