jase7678 0 Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Does anybody remember which oil Brian recommended for use in the 4 cylinder cars yesterday? Just looking to buy some on Demon Tweeks at the moment. I can't remember if it was Mobil 10w/50 or Castrol RS 10w/60. Also, is there any reason why I shouldn't use an oil filter I've had on my shelf for the past 2 years? Thanks.

Kato 0 Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 It's all here: http://www.lotusespritworld.com/ETechnical/oil.html Someone wasn't listening yesterday! Still sorting out a deal with Demon Tweeks for discount. Lotus told me to use Castrol RS 10w60. Can't see a problem using the oil filter as long as it's clean and hasn't been in either really hot or cold conditions.

Feffman 1 Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Jason: Let's make this easy. Mobil-1 15W-50. True synthetic, not a carbon based (stuff from the Earth) reformualted. Feff Quote MVP Track Time Link to post Share on other sites
incautious 0 Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Don't know if mobil 1 will be available in the future in 15W-50 in the US. They just reformulated . The closest one may now be 0W-40 but not sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Evil_Dr_Fish 1 Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 They definitely said NOT the 0W rated oils as it's too thin Quote "When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
