300v 15w-50 is ideal for the summer months, give it time to warm up befor giving it beans.:thumbs:

What are the motul oils like?
Yes I would recomend using it, its a top ester based synthetic.

Daily Driver from April till October. The car will also see a few trackdays and I drive it hard on the german Autobahn with no speedlimit.
I'm currently using Silkolene Pro-S 10-W50 and I'm satisfied so far. Just want to know if you agree with my choice. (It was pretty damn expensive to import the oil from the UK! :wack:). How long are the recommended change intervals? And would you suggest to change the oil when I bring the car back on the road each spring? Thanks in advance! :thumbs:
Yep Pro S 10w-50 is ideal and it does not get better. 8,000 mile changes will be fine with the odd track day.
Cheers
Guy.
Hi, can you suggest an oil for my S14 SR20
2000 W
68k miles
stage 2 300bhp similar torque
Car used for fast road
I have been using Pro S 5w-40 for the last 18 months while running ~260bhp, but just recently gone to 300bhp.
If you give it death move up to the Pro S 10w-50.
Cheers
