Quick Oil question

[SRT10_SWISS]

Can someone tell me what was the factory oil filling in 2003? Mobil1 0W30, 0W40 or 10W30?

Many thanks

Only problem we have is its not available in the UK or I think Europe we have to run 10-40 which is the Motorsport Oil.

At present I am running Valvoline Motorsport which is 10-40 but much cheaper at 9 dollars a liter.

France is so much cheaper saw 0-40 Mobile 1 for sale at the supermarket for 8 dollars a liter....UK price.......15 dollars a liter.

The Valvoline seems to work well....but this is my first change at 1,000 miles.

Do I have to expect any problem while mixing 10W30 with 0W40?

Don't mix if you can help it. The additive effectiveness is not a linear function with quantity. The additive packages are different and while compatible, often 1/2 + 1/2 doesn't equal 100% performance.

Thanks Venomus. I will give them a try but the shipping may be a killer.

Thanks Tom!

The MOBIL1 10W30 is not available in Europe.
I have to change the oil and move to 0W40.

Try the motorsport version of Mobile one it works great I used it for four years in the old GTS both on the road and the track.

To be honest the valvoline seems to be the same performance wise.

royal purple works great,never mix brands or viscosity
