Need Oil In Very Short Timing

[chumaxa]

Hi guys, I planed to take the Lotus on sunday, but I checked the oil level, and it would need some top up I think, do you know where I can find quickly some Shell 10w-60 ?? Cheers

Oooh, errrrr.  Shouldn't you be using a good, full synthetic 5w40?

Previous owner was very good at mecanic, and had a couple of Exiges, and taking care of the car himself, so I trust him on that one, but yes standard is 5w40, but I know taht for my renault sport the best oil is not the one provided by renault .. 

 

Anyway, I went to the Shell petrol station, of course they had all grades but mine ...

Took all the skills I have and was probably more difficult than getting my PhD!

I used to put Mobil 1 in my RenaultSport cars; Clio 197, Megane 250 Cup, then Megane 265 Cup.

 

Always use Silkolene Pro-S 5w40 in my Lotuseseses though.  Bestest oil on the planet (well, equal best!!).

Yes I also have a Renault sport past, and a 250 cup now, will go again for the mobil 1 I think
