martymk1 Posted March 23, 2008 Report Posted March 23, 2008 what oil do you use? got to do a change in the mk5' its done only 35k' is it worth buying expensive oil or not? (considering it does use a bit ) what do you use ?
Fiesta Steve Posted March 23, 2008 Report Posted March 23, 2008 If it uses a lot of oil I'd stick to the cheap stuff. I used to run my XR2 on £2.99 Asda oil and would only top it up when the oil light came on !!! It ran fine like that for many years of daily trashing and was still good the day I took the engine out. That was in a Crossflow
LEONMEX Posted March 23, 2008 Report Posted March 23, 2008 ive always used duckhams qxr 20w50 in my old pintos & they have never had any probs its about £12 for 5ltrs from halfrauds i think?? altough i used to run my old x-flow on 15w40 diesel oil form work as it was VERY cheap & that was also fine

harris horse power Posted March 24, 2008 Report Posted March 24, 2008 i use the valvoline racing oil in my xfow its expensive but it makes u go a hell of alot quiker
Fiesta Steve Posted March 24, 2008 Report Posted March 24, 2008 Valvoline will be a waste of money in my opinion if its using its burning quite a bit though. Save your money
