P3rks 11 Posted November 9, 2011 Apologies for another one of these threads.. I have been searching but I can't find a definitive answer.. I'm doing a decent service for winter.. The engine is on 125k has a 6-branch and exhaust and K&N panel filter. Thats it.. The engine is a little tappety but otherwise very smooth. I'm changing the oil, oil filter, plugs, HT leads and coolant. Using NGK BKR5E plugs. What oil do I go for? Using the search and people seem to go for either 5w40, 10w40 or 10w50.. Which one do I choose!!? Help! Also, regarding the ignition leads; I want to go for some red ones to brighten up the engine bay. I know I won't get any extra power, but I want some good quality ones. Dubpower seem to come up a lot and also the schimmel ones. The schimmel looks very good but the website says short runner. Any idea's on that or any recommendations please? Thanks.

I know some of the "uprated" leads are thicker and don't sit in the plastic grooves too well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
