Engine Oil Advice

[Dandu 0]

Hello,

 

I'm in need to destine the engine oil, my 2L Turbo will be lubricated with in future.

 

Can you give me some recommendations? Perhaps you can state only which one you use.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Dandu

I'm sure the Opie oilman can advise you.

Suppose i might recommend Aral oils i'm using 5W-50 on my tuned 1.9 engine , and after a bit of "investigation" me thinks that it's better quality oil than the well known brands such as Total/Shell/Mobil etc. ... being German origin oil should be well known and available in your country

 

5W-50 grade should be spot on for turbo engine as well .. but will leave more precise advice to Mr. Oilman regarding this issue ..

EDIT : also .. been reading some laboratory tests , (metal particles analysis and some other stuff ..) , of various type oils and Midland (Swiss origin..) oils where really highly rated , on top of the Total/Shell/Mobil and the likes ..

Much thanks to both of you!

 

@rescue_dude: I'm going to ask "oilman".

 

@Damir: Nice to hear from you again! Unfortunately Aral doesn't seem to offer sooo many versions of your suggested oil "5w-50". As far as I know that's the only one: http://www.aral-lubricants.com/lubricants/..._sae_5w-50.html ... I will ask an employee as soon as I catch sight of a petrol station.

 

Have a nice weekend! Cheers Dandu

Hi

 

I would say a good 5w-40 would probably be the way to go, unless you are getting high (over 125C) oil temps, then a 10w-50 is the best choice.

Out of those, the best ones are the Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. They are all really good oils and up to dealing with the harsh conditions of trackdays and hard use.

 

Cheers
