Having checked the handbook for recommended oil for the VHPD, I notice both types are discontinued. I’m at the stage where I’ve removed the oil filter to facilitate the exhaust manifold replacement, so may as well do an oil change (despite only being in the car for a few months).
I really wanted Mobil 1, but what are you guys using in your VHPD’s?
I know it shouldn’t affect my decision, but I have a Halfrauds trade card, so can get oil from them at more reasonable prices. I’m not bound by this however, so am open to suggestions.
silkolene pro series is what you want to run, i run 15/50 on mine being turbocharged but 10/50 or 10/40 would be suitable for yours.
My family works for silkolene and I used to be a ‘chemical blender’ in other words mixing the materials to make the oil so i know the quality that goes into the pro series(was like a giant cooking pot)
If you want another opinion, look for a post from kiwirog on seloc where he talks about how good the stuff is in k series compared to other brands
I use a top quality oil of the correct SAE rating from Opie Oils. I get whatever is the best deal at the time. This year it is Fuchs, Titan Red Race oil, or something like that. In the past I have used Mobil 1 and Shell Ultra. Everyone has their own favourites and beliefs but I doubt if makes much difference, provided you use good quality oil.
