What oil?

[fastevo1]

What oil should I be using for a R5 running around 200bhp?

Also, what oil usage should I expect
If any so I can monitor?

Cheers

When you say oil usage, do you mean how much it eats? Mine was running around 170bhp and never ate any.... I used Fruchs 10-50 I think but I'm not too sure...

You will probably need to change your oil every 2000-3000 miles to keep the engine sweet.

Fuch titan 10-40 semi ok?

How many litres does a R5 engine hold?

[Mr Raider]

About 3 to 3.5 litres, some people run semi synthetic, some fully synthetic depending upon useage, state of tune etc. Genuine Purflux LS590 oil filter is recommended too to ensure good oil pressure.

Can anyone confirm what grade oil? Before i order.

IT all depends on your oil temps but if your cars running 160-200hp then I would suggest 10/50 fully synthetic. Below that and 10/40 semi will do.
