burgershot Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 Hi Guys Had an RX8 (as some of you will already know) before the Z and i've got a ton of oil that i stockpiled for it. Even got quite a load from Oilman (at least i think it was him on the RX8 forum) and basically i'm wondering if i should just donate it to my mate who's now got an 8 or use it myself. It is all 5W-30 (some Motul and some others are Shell Magnatec etc. stuff from Halfords) Been reading that the best suggestion for the Z (on other threads) is 5W-40, but being a complete oil-ignoramus i don't know if the 5W-30 would either be bad for the Z or just 'overkill' that wouldn't harm it at all - just not give any specific improvement and therefore not recommended as it would only be a 'waste' - if you know what what i mean !?!? thanks for any help.

burgershot Posted January 13, 2007 Author Posted January 13, 2007 thanks there's just an AWFUL LOT of reading in some of those posts - was just being lazy and wanting to know the answer at some point before 2009 (which is when it would have been if i had ever bothered to read through ALL that info) Quote
