what brand would be best for the car ? THANKS ~

 

"Hey thanks yeah alright guys thanks in advance I read everything but I didnt read anything okay yeah!!"

Man, I thought people were over-exaggerating when they told others that somethings have been answered fully, and about a million times.

There's a complete list, and by complete I mean a list that will answer every single one of those questions you have, right on top of this forum.

Good day.

PS: I hate how these threads end up making me look like the bad guy, but I can't help it. Apologies all around (not you, OP--congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the family)

 

IBTL?

 

You are in England ? There is an UK S2000 Owners sub-forum about 3 pages down. The oil availability in England and USA is much different, you should post this question in the UK forum.

Your car is over 50k FM, you can use full synthetic if you like. If Mobil 1 is available and if it is not too expensive over there, then 5W40 is the grade should be used.

 

 

Mobile 1 10/30

 

is the mobile1 10/30 fully syn ??? thanks for suggestions guyz !!

 

Mobil 1 is the ONLY way to go. Fully synthetic... it's the only oil I trust. I also run the Mobil 1 oil filters. The stuff isn't cheap, but if you do it yourself, it comes out to about the same price as getting normal oil at Jiffylube.

 

Why did you post in this thread


The "Under The Hood" forum is a forum for discussing things that are mechanical by nature.

 

Full synthetic is what I run in my car. I do not know why someone would would advise againts full synthetic motor oil
