Title: Edition 30 Engine Oil
Post by: Gman30 on October 04, 2013, 01:04:59 pm: Hi All,

Just wondering what oil people are using? Mines gonna be due a change soon and am thinking of going down the performance route with:

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-60169-silkolene-pro-s-5w-30-ester-synthetic-oil-for-high-performance-engines.aspx

Many people using this? Or do most people just stick to a good 507.00 oil?

Ta for the input!!

Can't argue with any of that.

OP, If yours is a modded Eddy, use the 5W 40. :happy2:

Thanks bud, its good to hear this from someone doing it on a daily basis! Can I ask why you are switching it up to 5w40?

Anybody use 0w 40 ?

I was wondering this; why people would move the upper limit only to not move the lower limit... :popcornsoda:

If it turned as cold here as Alaska in winter then a 0W weighted oil would become a must.
