I personally use Castrol RS 0-40 which on average costs me about £30 a pop for 4 litres whats everyone else use and what do you pay on average?

there is method in my madness :winky:

Mobil No.1 Motorsport 15W-50

Approx £37 4 litres

Castrol GTX 5W-30 as the handbook suggests! Mobil 1 is expensive but no doubt s :tsktsk: t hot stuff!

I have Mobil 1 0w-40 and the engine is now starting to sound like a bag of old nails with the start of the cold weather. I've used Mobil 1 on my last 4 vehicles and it has made the engine noisy on all of them.

I may try their newer 5w-30 soon, or the Subaru special 5w-40 as the 0w just seems to thin.

Colin - Did you start using the Mobil 1 from new or were then second hand vehicles?

[MacRS200]

I am using Castrol Edge Sport 0W-40, fully synthetic at the mo.

Like Colin i am a bit doubtful about the viscosity when cold.

second hand. It's not engine wear just the oil is very thin when cold. Once the engine warms it's all quite again. 0w just isn't required in this country, 5w is good for -25C

Just had a conversation about this earlier tonite :P

I waqs advised to use the Castrol RS stuff as it is supposed to be the best available. If it's good enough for a 500-600bhp evo then it's good enough for me!! :D
