Rob_B 0 Posted January 21, 2008 the technical info there was very interesting, so thanks for that. is it possible for you to list, in laymans terms, which oils you would use or recommend for our corrado engines please? i know its probably not as simple as that, but a simple guide would be very useful. im sure there are many others in the same boat who get a bit lost with the terms and chemical arrangments! :) or even put down some prices of stuff you would sell us? a simple list of which engines need which oil would be ace! many thanks, Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
