Hi all -
Just wondering what oil you are all using in your motors?
We have been using Q8 Formula F1 10w-50 :
(ACEA A3, API SL BMW Special Oil, MB 229.1) fully synthetic in a Fontana alloy 302 (347) drysumped with 4-stage pump.
Ok but oil pressure v-low at idle when oil gets hot - say 100 degC or above.
So question is - what are you using and in what + any thoughts on its performance.
Do you prefer mineral? to synthetic and change it more often?
cheers!
