I always used Mobile1. However after ive killed 2 engines i thought id treart myself :D
So ive just put some of that Fuchs stuff that GSF are selling in mine. 10w40 semi (it's called vulcan i think). I paid £12 for 5 litres, winner.
Better than £40odd quid for 4 litres of Mobile1. £15 for an oil and a filter change, cant go wrong.
Im keeping a close eye on it to see when it starts to blacken, but even if i change it every 2000 miles it's a lot cheaper than every 6000 on mobile1. Ive done about 1500 miles so far, 300 of which were up and down the motorway at 5500rpm with a T2, and it still looks nice and clean.
