Re: What Engine Oil To Use?

Thanks for the replies,
As Joe said, most API grades are well above the old standards now and are not really an issue.
I used to run full synthetic, then dropped back to a mineral oil for the reasons benebob suggests....just thought I might spoil her (the engine that is) for this event and run full or semi-synthetic!
I was actually thinking a 20-50w? But had thoughts of a straight 40 or 50w?
BTW, cam belt is new and all tensioner bearings etc checked/repacked.

I just havn't had the chance to run these EG33's under full race conditions due to the overheating, therefore have not been able to get an idea of the mechanical reliability, so I need to build some confidence in these engines....also it will need to be treated a LOT harsher than other engines in my class due to lack of power compared to the 3.5 nissans and toyotas (we are limited to 3.5ltr N/A)
Heres Hoping!
