    What Oil Do You Use in Your S14

    Ok lets put this one to bed.

    This is a poll to get a general idea of what oils are used in the S14 and hopefully will put an end to the question or at least give a definate thread to direct Noobs to.

    i will add this to the Useful threads

    Only post if you use something not listed and have ticked 'other'

    Cheers

    Please no S13 voters, i know its pretty much the same story but i would to keep it seperate for clarity

    Used to use Mobil 15/50, but I cant seem to get it anymore, so its Castrol 10/60. I bought three cans recently for £21 + vat each - that was from Partco - blagged it. Was a good price, so I asked how much for three

    Mobil 1 Motorsport 15W50
    Castrol RS 10W60
    or Magnatec 10W40 if I can't get those.

    I'm generally changing the oil every 1000 or so miles these days, gets a bit expensive with 5L a go....
