Buf-Phoon loitering with intent Lifetime Members 13,318 Member For: 20y 8m 1d Gender: Male Location: Zombie Birdhouse Posted 25/08/04 02:53 AM Share Posted 25/08/04 02:53 AM Just FYI,On my last service, the docket stated "Super S 10W40". Upon asking, I got the same deal: "Well, the book says 15W40, but we use a special synthetic blend that we buy in bulk". So, no closer to a definite answer! turkey101 Turkey long time to make the first post.enjoy your time here Ken oooooh Kennnn , lookee I found a newbie :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dealer agreed that it was supposed to be 15w40 but that it was only an admin error on the service receipt. After long discussion they (apparently) changed it for 15w40. They were either messy or clever enough to spill oil on the engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rex13bt Member 38 Member For: 20y 3m 16d Posted 25/08/04 10:38 AM Share Posted 25/08/04 10:38 AM Bring this subject up again to find out how U guys find the synthetic oil that is being used.I am using BP Visco 5000 a 5w-40 Synthetic that came 2nd in a Head to Head Oil Test, details herewww.performanceoilnews.com/oils_against_oils.shtmlCheers. Ah yes, many people seem to stumble across this article. There are way too may issue with the test procedure to mention. I would not judge the performance of any oil based on these results. This test was carried out some time ago and I have spoken to technical representatives from two of the oil companies represented, one of which was present for some of the testing. At the time he did voice some of his concerns, however as the oil from his company performed quite well he didn’t push the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a few postings on "oil's is oils?" I was told to use 15/40 LPG oil with the Ford brand but Valvoline also makes the same type of oil. Don't know who really makes the Ford brand but I'm sure it ain't Ford! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
