I use mobil 1 motorsport 15w/50 and its very good. Stear well clear of any mineral based oil, it carnt handle the heat of the engine. Use a good quality fully synthetic oil and you wont go far wrong.

Most TVR afficionados use Mobil 15/50, or Castrol 10/60, or similar.



Oops! I've bought Castrol Magnatec 10/40. Is this a bad move on my part?


I have 10/40 semi synthetic in mine (put in by Austec Racing) i know someone who works in Castrol and have also spoken to their lab boffins... that Magnatec is the mutts nuts, and as my supply is almost limitless, and FREE , i'll be using that for a long time indeed.
oh

Halfords sell a fully synthetic 5w/40 with a big saving over the price for Mobil 0w/40. Why not use this?
