I know this subject has been covered more times than probably any other but....

What oil should I use.

I'm in the process of getting my project UK TT up and running as it has been sitting for 8+ years with no maintenance at all.

It starts, runs, drives but the oil hasn't been changed since it was stored, and as such nothing else has been changed either.

I want to give it a full service before it gets the cambelt, water pump etc done in the next couple of weeks but just do not know which oil to use.

Any suggestions would be greatfully received.

My NA runs well with Castrol fully synthetic 10W40 :w00t: Not the cheapest though.

 

10W30 is recommended in the manual for moderate climates, but is anyone able to get it?

Mobil 1 Super 3000 5w-40.

The last time I had mine serviced I used Castrol Edge 0w-40

10/40, 5/40 & 0/40 so far.

All different which makes it a bit more confusing.

From a viscosity perspective, all are multigrades and have the same performance at 100°C (the /40 bit) and are

suitable for use in the UK. The winter values (10/, 5/ and 0/) are all in the range suitable for use in the UK.
