Title: Spark plugs and engine oil.
Post by: Mitch H on April 30, 2015, 06:31:51 pm

Servicing my edition 30 next week before remap next month.
Ordered all filters just need to know what's the best engine oil and spark plugs to use.
Any recommendations?
Cheers :happy2:

I have the Millers 5w40 nanodrive on order ready for her next service.  :party:

Currently i'm running Magnatec 5w40. Will be interested to see any difference in my cam follower as it was already wearing after 2000km.

Atleast you get 5l of the nanodrive. Always annoyed me having to either buy another bottle of edge to get enough for an oil change and spare for top ups.
Makes the price difference negligible

Get it from your nearest tps, it should be labeled as platinum 5w40. I have just serviced with quantum longlife 3 5w30, to be honest, I generally don't drive the car hard, only ever a small burst every so often, car is stage 2+, so as I can get the longlife for very little (that's if I have to pay for it) it'll do me fine
