Miller CRO mate,Competition Running-in Oil:thumb:

30w80 :D

I'm sure plenty of Scooby guys would use that if they could get hold of it.

The best oil to use for all stages of running in is the Millers CRO as that's what it's specifcally designed for.

I would use a 5w-40 synthetic when it's run in and you will find those through the link below.

Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Millers XFS, Fuchs Supersyn, Shell Helix and Mobil Super 3000 are good, cheaper alternatives.

great. lol

Why a 5w40 and not any other Mr Oil man?

Ive always used it as you have recommended it but I dont know why?!

You can use other viscosities, for many cases 5w-40 is an ideal allround viscosity.

Found what I needed on your site.

Ill be ringing tomorrow as I need engine, gearbox and differential oils....

You should be asking the engine builders this question.

Thats what I was thinking. Surely the guy who built the engine is the eat judge of what oil to use.

You'd think they'd know best, but they quite often just recommend the thickest thing they can get their hands on.

Another oil delivery received, thanks very much Guy/Tim @ Opie.

Thanks for the order and letting us know it arrived safely.

Cheers

Tim
