Tamora Speed Six Engine Oil?

[PYNEY]

hi all

my tam from new has had 5w 40 grade engine oil on all its services
its seems to be the preferred grade ?

i'm thinking of using a new indy to service my car this year and i know he recommends 10w 40 on his customers cars (speed six)

what i would like to know is what are the pro's and con's between the two oils

and any personal views and advice you can give me

cheers keith

tangoed thats interesting ! thanks

its what my indy also said , i've also found a thread on hear which said that tvr power use this oil grade (10w 40)they should know ? can anyone confirm this ?

its just that the majority say 5w 40 is best and most tvr garages seem to go down that route i think

is there any hands on proof that changing to 10w 40 in the long term will be better

cheers keith

trackcar, this is also my concerns going to a thicker oil from cold ?
but is the 10w or 15w much better when the engine is hot ?

hi bill , how are you! from the resurrection of this old posting of mine the current new owner
has contacted me and the car has moved on from Germany and is in very good hands in Vienna !
I see on your profile you have a chimaera ? I knew you couldn't be without a tiv for long

regards keith
