Hi I have just bought a old shape scooby but not sure what oil to use. I have been using Mobil 1 up to now in my TVR but not sure if it would be ok for turbo.
Any views
Cheers ray

Mobil 1 Motorsport is OK

I currently use Castrol RS 10w60

Others to consider

Motul 300V 15w50
Silkolene PRO 10w50

Yeah....I use 10W60 fully synthetic on my classic

I've used millers before.....but thinking about changing to castrol because I've almost managed to convince someone nearby to stock it
It can be quite hard to get a hold of....up here anyway

Any good quality fully synthetic 10W40 to 10W50 will be OK. I'd avoid 5Wanything as these can be a bit thin at times.

I have used Silkolene in my last 2 Imprezas (over the course of the last 5 years) and not had a problem.

Ray should have a chat to Andrew, or are you just a bit scared that you may spend a fortune if you do!

Good luck with the new toy

Hi Mark. Got the car Sat from uk up to andrew on monday for a look at it (he approved) back upto him on Tue night, roll roaded and found that it had uprated injectors and bits done to ecu and it is putting out 229.7 bhp which he says is up from the standard of 210. Happy days but were do I stop.
