in a Ford bottle.

Ford have now changed to Castrol for all their OE oils (hence the packaging has changed too)

I would recommend Silkolene Pro S 5w-40 for your car.

If you're going to Japfest you can pre-order online in the Members Section of our website, cheapest way to do it.

Hi,

I do around 7,000 miles a year with about 95% of journeys being under 15 minutes long

. I have always changed oil every six months and for it's last change I used ProS 5-40. So I was wondering would it still be advisable to change every six months or is that just being a bit over protective.

Thanks

many thanks. ben

**oilman** · 30-05-2006, 21:58

Ben,

Im not sure halfords do a 10w-50?

Any way have a look at the Silkolene Pro S 10w-50 as this is an ester based synthetic and its quality has been more then proven.

Should also help to keep it quiet.

Cheers

Guy.

Hello again oilman

I have now had the car on the road for a while. when driving on the freeway my oil temp is about 100 degrees C. If a accelerate to about 100mph the oil temp rises to about 110. I was planning on doing at least 2 trackdays this summer. but most of the mileage will be easy street. I'm kinda worried about the oil-temp I get when going fast. What viscosity oil should I use? and at what temp should I ease down on the throttle? I'll go Motul 300V

just wondering which one.

Make: Nissan
Model: Silvia S15
Year: 1999
Engine Size: 1998 16v
Engine Type: SR20DET
Any Mods: Full 3" turboback exhaust system, air filter, fuel-pump, FMIC, upped boost, about 290 Bhp@fly
Type of driving: Basic short/mid distance road driving and some motorway along with some trackdays
Milage: about 32k miles

**oilman** · 06-06-2006, 21:59

If you are going with the Motul then you will need to look at 300V 15w-50 for the track this will give plenty of headroom.

Cheers
Simon

**Pete H** · 06-06-2006, 22:00

What would you recommend for a 70k mile Ford Capri 2.8i?

(Serious question).

**oilman** · 06-06-2006, 22:12

Now that is a cool car! Which year is it please?

Thanks
Simon

**Pete H** · 06-06-2006, 22:14

1987 (It's a 280 - not that that makes any difference). Saying that, might be an idea to find out what would go in the Tickford Turbo at the same time. It's a mate, he has both
