    What Oil do you use?

    Ok its been a while since we did the last one and oppinions have probably changed. So what oil do you use? If the one you use isnt featured in the poll please post and I will add it

    Can only people vote who have a car with a SR20DET please.

    Silkolene Pro S 10w50 is I think what we got, but could be slightly different version of that manufacturers oil, maybe one of the other grades... XR33GTS any extra input?

    Got Halfords Motorsport 5w50 in at the moment, but I use whatever fully-synth I can get my hands on when an oil change is due. I'm not fussy.

    I was gonna go for Valvoline VR1 Racing 10W-50 as recommended to me by APT at the last service interval but no one in my city stock this product and the dealers said it would take a few weeks to get hold of it

    So I ended up with the more expensive Silkolene Pro S 10W-50 instead
