ediekid76 10 Posted March 11, 2011 Ive got a g60 just been fully rebuilt with stage 4 charger, and i was wondering what is the best oil to use after i have used a cheap oil for the first 50 miles. Thanks steve :scratch: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
science 0 Posted March 13, 2011 An oil change at 50 miles would be nice as most wear occurs within the first 20-50 miles although a mineral oil is necessary for 200 miles to allow this wear to occur. I believe in running in the engine hard ie; 5-10 second bouts of 3/4 throttle allow the gas pressure to act on the piston rings and wear them in, but not subjecting the engine to prolonged load to prevent excessive heat buildup on friction parts. When I ran in the VR6 after a rebuild, I couldn't find any info on an oil schedule. So I did this; 0-200 miles Mineral 10w40 (cheapo wilkinson oil) 200-1500 Semi-Synthetic 10w40 (fuchs titan xtr) 1500-3000 Semi-Synthetic 10w40 (fuchs titan xtr) 3000-Present Fully Synthetic 5w40 (carlube tripple R) Thinking about a proper £££ fully synthetic ester oil next I also put several 20mm Neodymium magnets on the sump/sump plug to help trap loose ferrous particles.
