Im on cheap mineral oil. 10w 40.
yer im thinking if i change it that often does it need fully synthetic or should i just carry on with the 10/40w shell from reno?
it's about £10 for 5 litres!!!
If you change it regulary just carry on with what your using.

Both my Williams are a shit load faster on Mobil 1. Im guessing this is because of the lack of viscousity.
I also use Mobil 1, its bloody dear in England me thinks £10 a litre??
I pay £4 a litre here in France, I am no expert far from it, but i was always advised to use the best oil and tyres you can afford.
mobil 1...£33 for 5 litres at halfrauds..4 ltr tub with a 1 ltr top up attatched to it with a funky little bag too hehe...£7 per ltr after that i think.......carcraft robbing cunts wanted £30 for 4 litres.then £12 per litre after that
2live is that what you normally use?
How often do you change it?

no mate..i bin using the shell stuff for a bit..fukkin dear like....jus saw the mobil 1 n thort y not.lol......end of the day..oils oil.....if u change it regular enuff n use the correct grade...........itl b reeeet
thats what im thinking and at the end of the day isn't it better to change it more often anyway, so it's getting clean stuff all the time?
So really a 10-40 changed twice as often as a 5w-40 could be better for your engine even though the 5w-40 is twice the price!
