WHAT IS THE BEST OIL TO USE IN A CERBERA 4.2 ???

[J18 UFO]

Car is nearly run in- freshly rebuilt by apm, was wondering what is the best oil to buy. ??? THANKS.

Presumably whatever the engine builder recommends you use.

Euro Car Parts are offering Shell Helix 5W40 fully synthetic for £25 for 5 litres, right grade, good oil and cheap as chips.

Flat Tappets, Aggressive Cams = High ZDDP or dead engine.

This article makes good reading and supports ukkid35. The author recommends Valvoline as it has some ZDDP in it.

Is that due to the shear strength offered?
