Hugh Keir · 10th February 2003, 10:45 PM

bout time someone found out how to spell syntec, or have Castrol launched a new range of oil?

somberg · 10th February 2003, 10:50 PM

Castrol Formula RS it's called.

I've got a spec sheet in front of me; be happy to post it BUT it's in Dutch. And that's sort of an exclusive language for a large minority...

N1SMO · 14th February 2003, 03:40 AM

i have no idea what people in ausie and new zealand is getting but i'm pretty sure that syntec is what its called over here

navtheace · 14th February 2003, 08:48 PM

But there are many missing from the poll list.

Shell, neo, silkolene, mobil etcetc....

Millers racing oil 10w60 fries a great chip.

haplo · 14th March 2003, 08:09 AM

in the imminent future. Using it in the 'box and 'diff too. (not the same oil, obviously)!

mark r · 14th March 2003, 10:01 PM

used Havoline as full history from middlehurst's, but last change i got some silkoline off rod bell since thats what he uses and recomends.
seem's pretty good upto now, (approx extra 8psi oil press when hot).

somberg · 14th March 2003, 10:55 PM

was told yesterday that Castrol RS Racing Syntec 10 W-60 destroys turbo's on Porsche Turbo engines. And I don't mean standard engines here but the 1000 Nm+ kind (that's about 740 foot pound cow stone or whatever that's called in the UK). They use Mobil 15W50 synthetic oil.
