Just to be different :) I am using 10w 60 Valvoline VR1 http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-73740-valvoline-vr1-racing-10w-60-premium-synthetic-engine-oil.aspx

 

Never had any problems with it and always seems to handle the higher temps well, was recommended by mr vince when mine was rebuilt

 

What did vince recommend when you had the tubby install mate?

Hey Chris

 

I am trying to remember as the bottom end was done after turbo install. Think we were using Fuchs before this but can't remember for sure. I remember him getting this stuff as when running in the forged internals there was a lot of friction (was basically seized when cold) early on which made the oils temps quite high 110+

 

Now the temps are high for a different reason :)

We've gone off on a Corrado forum tangent. They are such a rarity these days. Let's dig out the "Angel Eyes" thread again :lol:

 

personal favourite was the bacon thread

Quite a few amusing Ken's actually..

 

 

Sorry your thread has been derailed EJ Taylor!! ;)

 

ahhh thats made my morning thanks Jim & EJ! love it when everyone here has a fun chip in on a wayward thread lol

 

im non SC but run fuchs titan 10w40, after vince recommended i move away from the fuchs 5w40 i had been historically using as it is too thin

[g0ldf1ng3r 15]

ken barlow reckoned 10w/50 silkolene pro s is the best, but ken dodd told him to shove that and thinks castrol edge 10w/60 is better. Then ken frickin block stuck his oar in with millers 10w/60 nanotec stuff. "kenny from the block" reckons mobil 1 5w/50 motorsport is the dogs, and then ken hom threw his wok out of the pram and insisted on motul 300v.

 

:D :D :D pmsl
