Hi there going to change my oil, what oil should i put in it ? always got a garage to change it they have been putting Mobil motorsport 10-60 in is this ok or not?

Anyone advise me please?

Nothing wrong with Mobil motor sport 10-60 probably more expensive than you need to spend in all honesty, any good brand 10/40 semi synthetic is ample, a lot of owners prefer to spend on fully synthetic and that is their prerogative of course, I always consider that the TT should have 3 k to 4 k changes anyhow so why use a long life synthetic is its going to be changed regular.

Cheers Jeff thanks for info.

I got 0W40 from Mobil 1, New Life is the name of this oil line. Did I make a mistake when choosing this oil as best. for my car?

 

My hydraulic valve lifters are loud so I hope this will help.?

The Mobil 1 oil is a good quality one but more expensive than you need to pay as I said above and is really aimed at modern engines also any pre-existing leaks are likely to be worse, the lifter noise could be sometimes be effected by oil choice good and bad.

 

Personally if you have not used the Mobil 1 oil see if the supplier will change it for you to a semi synthetic if your lifters are still noisy try an attitive designed for that, if they are still noisey its possible there is other issues.
