EmZvr Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Would oil quality contribute? Fired in some crap we use at work, cant remember name but its stil 10-40. Isnt great stuff tho cost me 10 quid for 5 litres lol Good question i always put the good stuff in,, so can't answer that one, My first oil was Esso 10W40 which is a cheap brand. At ~5k I had to pour from min to max and then at ~8k again from min to max. Then I used Castrol Magnatec 10W40 and for 1 year and 2 months I didn't have to fill any oil. Before the change it was a little less then the middle. So it matters what oil you use.Now I am with Magnatec again with Hamp filter and I don't think I will be using different oil.

spudley1988 Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 Thanks for your reply, the stuff i have in just now is drivetec?? Never heard of this myself but mechanic at work said its cheap crap hence the price lol. Magnatec seems to be the oil of choice for a few people so will need to do another service and get some better oil back in the beast. Thanks again for the reply because i was crapping myself incase i had broke something lol, so heres hoping its due to poor oil being used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
