Hi guys, Any ideas on what would be the bets oil to use on this rebuilt motor?
It uses about 1Lt every 600Ks It doesnt seem to be leaking anywhere or blowing it out the back. It gets very cold here in the mournings so any suggestions would be a great help. Thanks NA Fairlane |

I use Castrol GTX3 15W/40 with a white valvoline oil filter-V01. Change every 5000km.
The main reason why i choose this oil is cause supercheap sell it in a 5.5l bottle which is the oil capacity of the 4l donk. Cheers. |

Hi Thanks, yes I had been useing that but it still burns through, I was wondering if there would be an oil that might help it's poorly built problems. I am hoping to get better the 600Ks out of 1 litre of oil.

Ya but I was wondering if a thicker oil or somthing like that would help. I am led to belive it didn't wear in properly.

thiscker would help but not solve the issue, and thicker is not good on cold starts, takes longer to lift to the top of the head,

Ok one thing u need to do NOW. Get rid of that Castrol Oil. FYI Castron GTX is the WORST oil you can ever use. I used to take the heads off the falcons and commies and you can tell when castrol oil has been used. What happens is the oil sticks to the motor. Like you know when oil just builds up around the mainfolds and the rocker cover and just in general. Well thats that castrol is doing to your motor. Its building up on everything and it starts to block off holes that are used to circulate oil around the motor. I use Shell Heluix Ultra or Mobil One. Its synthetic and cost about $50 for 5L. Some times you can get the oil filter and the Oil for about 45-50$ on special. But remember once you go synthetic you CANT go back. Your motor will also last alot longer. Mine has been using Shell Helix Ultra for 100'000 Km's and (on 276'xxx now) and its still going fine. Better than some 150's i know of.
But its your car you do what you want. Its just personal experience that 1/2 motors at the wrecker that we did change overs were castrol. Its bad news

I would try penrite hpr30 (20w/60)or you could go even thicker hpr40 (25w/60)or hpr 50(40w/70) i think hpr50 is a bit to thick..
but depends how cold it is in your area.. hpr40 will help if your burning oil ... |

Just use cheap oil and check oil every second tankfull... Its stuffed no point in throwing good $$$ into a stuffed engine...!!! $12 oil from Woolworths is good enough....
Retarding timing a few degree should help oil consumption...

I am hoping to get better the 600Ks out of 1 litre of oil. i would say its worn out,is it re built,the rings-if fitted to deglazed bores,shoud run running in oil for about 1000 ks-straight 30 grade,no additives.repco sells it.to stop oil use you may have to rebuild,deglaze bores and change rings. at the moment your oil control rings are shot and both compression rings havnt seated to bores,no fix-it will keep on using oil and get worse.i usually rebuild before it gets this bad
