Hi All, My first post yielded zero responses, so I'm hoping for better luck this time with a new question.
I need some advice on engine/gear box & differential oils.
The info in the handbook is now 20 years old and I have been given so much conflicting advice that I don't know if I'm coming or going.
My car is AK1500 1993 302 efi, T5 g/box & Salisbury LDS diff
I've been advised to use anything from 5W/30 to 15W/60 in the engine, so I've no idea.
As far as the gearbox is concerned, using ATF seems to be the way, but as I said, I'm confused.
The Diff is the only thing I feel confident about going out and buying oil for, but as for whether or not to use any 'addative' ??Hopefully there maybe some good advice out there. Any help would be much appreciated.
As there seems to be so much differing thought out there on oils, does most advice stem from what can be obtained cheaply or easily??? I have never scrimped on oils (I even changed engine oil after every race meeting back in the day). I want what's best, not what's cheapest. If it happens to be both then so much the better.
I drove the car for the first time at the weekend since getting it in November. Compared with the ultralight things I've been used to in the past, it was like taking a very obedient Mastiff out for a walk for the first time when all my experience is with Terriers!!! I look forward to becoming more familiar with it.
Are there any MklVs in the Bournemouth area or thereabouts?
