azzy_10 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 hey guys and girls i want to know what typeand grades of engine oil and any upgrades you have done to you K series engine ? the pic bellow is what i use. Quote
Willis Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 In the FAQ/Wiki section there's a mention of what oils would be better suited for a K motor. I think it's in the "How to build a tough K motor" by Tazrx I believe??? Quote
azzy_10 Posted February 25, 2012 Author Report Posted February 25, 2012 but what oil do you use Quote
Willis Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 Penrite. Can't remember viscosity. Haven't driven the car in ages, haven't needed to top it up. There's a bottle of it downstairs in the garage, can't be bothered to go check though. Quote
altezzaclub Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 Any 20W-50, the last one being Motoguard which I think is Repco's house brand Quote
rian Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 I've been using what ever crap dad puts in his tractor, reason: free. Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 I put the crap from Crazy Clarks in my 4k, 15 bucks for 4 litres. Does the job, depends what state your engine is in I suppose. Quote
coln72 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 Used to use BP Corse Plus in my first Rolla. In the racer, it was what was lying around the shed, usually Castrol RX Super as the old man used it at work ;) and in his Patrol Quote
philbey Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 I've been using what ever crap dad puts in his tractor, reason: free. Â probably Delvac 20w50 Quote
rian Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 probably Delvac 20w50 I think that might be it, comes in a big blue drum. Quote
19914afc Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 I use toyota genuine oil in my 3T, because - its free :) Pretty sure its just caltex I think. Quote
KENut Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 I used Castrol GTX 20W50 in my standard 4k's, and Penrite 15W40 in my mild 4K Quote
Ben-89 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 Castrol GTX is good blend, originally recommended for k engines from new and its quite affordable. Sometimes autobarn have it on sale for $12.00 so I just grab 3 or 4 bottles at a time. Quote
azzy_10 Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Posted February 26, 2012 yeah 3 bottles at once for 12.99 each Quote
MrInKryption Posted March 8, 2012 Report Posted March 8, 2012 Elf Sporti 20W50. It's what my old man buys Quote
