hi all just wondering which oil is best to use in my 1979 t2 2lts engine. So much to choose from with varying advice. What is the general consensus of the best grade to use. Thanks a lot
I'd read the handbook as opposed to ask on here. You'll probably burn so much or it will leak out that anything is OK.
15/40 full mineral is what most people use, however i have the same engine and use 15/30 fully synthetic.
a lot of us use the 20w50 mineral oil, Comma and Halfords is cheap, I like the Castrol but its a bit dearer. main thing is to change the oil and filter frequently.
This... http://www.halfords.com/motoring/engine-oils-fluids/engine-oil/halfords-classic-oil-20w50-5l But buy it whens it's on offer.
Noooooo.... not the 'What O' question ! As above, put in any modern brand and it will probably be fine. I have a thing for Castrol Magnatec as I bought a load on special but I really don't think it makes as much difference as long as you don't over or under fill it and especially change it regularly Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Mineral 20/50 is recommended in my owners handbook. Have just used Millers Pistoneze mineral 20/50 and seems to run a lot better, in my opinion!
I just tend you fry myself some old school Chip's and the left over oil in the fryer I just chuck in the bus . Seems to be fine plus you get the nice aroma of a chip pan now and again ! Sent from my SM-J500FN using Tapatalk
Trying out Halso 15w40 as it has a higher ZDDP content. too early to say if it's better than the 20w50 been using.
I saw some old stock GTX 15w50 for £15 at a car boot, I'm gonna use that next. Currently on the Halfords Classic brought on special @ £15 ....

I had been using SAE30 but was getting a fair bit of light flikering at low revs. Changed the oil pressure switch and moved to 15/40 and no problems since.
