GTX with change every 1.5 -2k or track event.
But if Royal purple was sat next to it on the shelf I would buy it instead.
I think changing the oil regular is the secret any thing contaminating the oil or sludge/condensation is removed incase the filter doesn\'t catch it. It must keep your oil coolers cleaner too. Give the turbos the best help you can.

QuoteImpossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.

Thats a good price, heard a lot of good things about Millers Oils..may try the old switcharoo next time I do a change.

Quote from: chopper2k22;586891I use Halfords 10/40 mineral, its made by Comma.

Comma also make the cheap wilkinsons oil, I had work experience there when i was 16 and was surprised by how many shops they supplied.

Hi RX7

Shell Helix is what Re-Worx put in mine I will get them to change it every 2000 miles. Anyone bought that oil specially designed for Rotaries which one of the Traders advertise? I expect its dear if you change it regularly

Clarky

I have got it in mine, and must admit the engine sounds much smoother and quiter on idle. but not sure how often it needs changing, im going for 3000 miles
Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself...
But i can always do with some help now due to, my advancing years!
