Tamora Speed Six Engine Oil?
Discussion
Hi Ken,
It was running pretty much on the button at Anglesey and the first race and testing at Silverstone. After the first Silverstone race, I hade problems with a bush collapsing in the gearbox and gear selection was...lets say, less than precise as a consequence. A change-up from third at 7500rpm on hot slicks during the second race actually resulted in a down change, the car never felt as crisp after that. The head gasket problems started at Oulton.
Should be nice and sweet for my favorite circuit in April!

I asked my wife to get me some 5W/40 semi synthetic oil yesterday, and she came back with 5W/50 fully synthetic.
She asked the guy at Halfords (who hadn't even heard of TVR, and thought Tamora was the make!), so he checked the list, and it stated that the 5W/50 is recommended for S6 engine TVR's
Is this OK to use?

But would what I have bought be OK for topping up?
That's all it's for.
When I get the 4.3, clearly, I shall buy the semi synthetic as per Dom's instructions. But for now, would it hurt if I used the 5W/50?
It just has more viscosity when hot compared to a 40wt.That's all it's for.
