why the switch from CTV? I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

The only issue with high ZZDP stuff is the degradation of the Lambda sensor, especialy on high mileage engines I have been looking at wet clutch motorcycle oils perhaps fully synthetic, but i'm not overly sure. something like this http://www.motorcycle-road-and-race.co.uk/...ducts_id=406275 Cost is not really an issue for me On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

I'm using Castrol 15W40 at the moment. Next oil I try will be a semi-synthetic 15W50 ester motorbike oil, meant for shared oil circuits. And best of all, it's affordable :) (~5€/l)).

Im also going back to the 10w40 rather than the treakle that most seem to use

But I'm not sure if you can just change from 'normal' oil to an ester oil? Mineral oils and ester oils will mix happily with each other and stay that way. when seperately poured they will settle, but onece mixed, the ester oil molecules cling to the mineral oil molecules. It is a common misconception that they dont like each other, especialy in refrigeration, when its more often than not, actualy a difference in viscosity that really matters. Engine oils have a similar quirk, but the recomendation is to go for a thinner full synthetic than you would use for mineral. On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

That's good! Btw. that's the oil: http://www.ravenol.de/products?l=en&part=394 - they make a full and semi-synthetic 15W50, eventhough it says 'full'. And 5€/liter is affordable for what they say it is, I guess? [X] nail here for new monitor |

bike oil seems like a winner as it has to deal with the gearbox too, has anyone actually tried it? Speeding is like masturbating, everyone does it, but not all of us film it and put it on the internet

another vote for millers, aswell as minimal wear the gearbox feels really nice with it too -MINI CLUBMAN 1380 TURBO- |

I use the same oil in my race Mini as I do in my race motorbike. 25W50 racing oil with lots of ZDDP. Both have shared oil for gear/engine.
