G'day all,gotta do oil change,I know its 15/40 for the 1.3.. its got almost 200k on the clock,no smoke,goes good and starts good. What brand would you recommend? Did tappets today and she is quieter but still has a little bit of tappet noise. Would you recommend a different weight of oil? Should i use an engine flush before oil change? Full synthetic?Is it always the best option? ta Cory. |

it confussed me too i had noisy tappets so i adjusted them cold then they got quieter but i realised it had too much oil in it (5litres instead of around 4) so i changed the oild to that older engine stuff and now my tappets are even louder than when i adjusted themi think the oil i used which was like 20 50w is too thick |

Seems to me you already made the right choice with Penrite, go the HPR40 & you should be fine. I run Penrite in everything I own, bikes included. |

Oops..too late...before i went into the ripco store i thought i'd better check the sticker under the bonnet coz i got a memory like a siv..... My sticker said 10/40 (always used 15/40 coz my haynes book told me to) so i got Mobil semi-synthetic 10/40 coz thats all i could find in 10/40. Is that ok?If not next time I'll go back to 15/40...i confuse easily.
Last time i did the oil i dropped the oil out..then put new oil in...... then tripped over my new filter....doh..... so the oil i pulled out today was BLACK AS!(yes i put a new filter in this time!) Been using penrite for a while....hope suzi dont blow up coz i put Mobil in! I know i blow up when i can't get my brand of smokes!! thanks guys ,Cory |

It will be fine mate... It is still an ok brand, unlike the cheap and nasty oil which is actually recycled engine oil... |
