Shouldnt let your oil get that low mate

 

[Fred@BTM]

dipstick, its there for a reason!

 

[Tigger]

Oh dear! :slap:

Hope the car's alright - get out and top up mate, give it a good check

 

[Bassplayer]

If it is THAT low, anything will do to get you out of trouble. Better top up with something and change the oil later to the correct grade, than have the bottom end blow out.

i put 0w30 castrol edge in mine. expensive though.

 

[Fred@BTM]

^and incorrect for the F4R engine!!! too thin

If it was me I would go to a local store and get some 5w 40 if or 10w 40 order some decent 5w 40. Then oil and filter change.

But I wouldn't let get that low in first place.lol.

10w 40 is ok its better than having no oil.

 

[montana]

your choice on the actual oil but choose a 5w40 fully synth

Carlube Triple R 5w50 from Euro Car parts with Bosch oil filter for under £30 delivered which is fine for me. If your a brand ***** choose someting else

 

[Tigger]

I use the Elf Evolution SXR 5w40 in mine

Thanks Guys,

Only just had the car a couple of weeks and assumed the garage i got her from would have topped her up with oil (Wrong!!), shes all filled up now with 5w40 as recomended

 

[Gt rob]

so what is the best? 0w30? 5w30? 10w40?

5w 40 is the best, Opie oils in a good site if needed.

 

[gti6steve]

5W40 silkoleane pro race fully synthetic quite a few of us run this oil opie oils do it good stuff

 

[Fred@BTM]

so what is the best? 0w30? 5w30? 10w40?

none of them (well apart from 10W40 if you're a cheap sod)

0W30 and 5W30 ARE TOO THIN FOR THE F4R ENGINE
