Recommend me some motor oil

Post by Overseer »

I'm looking to do an oil change soon and just wondered what oil everyone is using. Also could you please advise on what grade is best.

Cheers.

Is that the same stuff Tim or does the Titan Lube have different additives/properties?

Not sure to be honest mate,

But if you buy the Titan stuff from GSF you'll get it much cheaper than that. it was about £15 for 4 litres.

will be fine mate, but thats a very high grade oil. Normal Fuchs Titan XTR is probably a better choice in the same 10W40
