Vhpd Engine Oil?


KurtB

Recommended Posts

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.

 

Cheers,

Kurt

I use as recommended by Opie and Kiwi Fuchs Titan Race Pro S 10w-50 Ester.

 

However in my previous engine i used Halfords fully Synthetic Track day Oil 10w-50 and was a fair bit cheaper that the above.

Yep, another Fuchs Titan Pro S 10w-50 user here based on Opie's recommendation.  I've used it for years now, yes it's a bit more expensive than some other options but mine definitely uses less now than when I tried Mobil 1 and you're not exactly having to change it every week smile.png

Another user of Fuchs 10-50 here. This stuff:

As Steve says it's purple too! Or at least it used to be - seem to remember my last lot was 'normal' coloured.

I did put 15-50 in it once and it seemed soooooooo thick when I was putting it in.
