Title: HF Turbo ie advice needed, ref. engine oil Post by: Keith Large on 21 April, 2008, 05:32:26 PM I have just bought my first Delta Turbo ie, (I am a Beta man, knowledge wise) Q. what is he best engine oil grade to use please ?
the car is 1989 and highish mileage, over 120,000 miles, no data book with the car. many thanks in anticipation, Keith Title: Re: HF Turbo ie advice needed, ref. engine oil Post by: Neil Lewis on 22 April, 2008, 10:38:50 PM I use Millers CFS 10W60 in my 8-valve integrale. CFS means Competition Full Synthetic and the wide grade means it doesn't run out of the oil seals too readily. About £35 for 5 litres, ie, much cheaper than Mobil 1 (don't use the 0W40 grade; it's as runny as water) or Castrol RS which are both about £50.
However, the grade of oil is not really important if the engine hasn't been cared for in the past. Title: Re: HF Turbo ie advice needed, ref. engine oil Post by: Keith Large on 23 April, 2008, 11:39:43 AM Thank you Neil, that is most helpful :)
we shall soon see how well engine has been cared for, but signs are not good, hence my other post for a replacement engine. I am planning to sprint the car asap. best regards Keith |
