Best oil grade for super ep3

Bought or built?

What did the tuner recommend?

Without knowing the setup of the car it would be hard to say. Temps will be high, so I'd be guessing at something like 10w60, something that won't boil and turn.
 
Bought mate, can post spec, if you want?
Believe it may be 10w60

Start a members cars thread if you've time, would be interesting!

I was recommended 10w60 when my last FN2 was Rotrexed, sounds right.
 
Hi

I would say a 10w-50 is likely to be the best option, but it's worth fitting a temp gauge as if the oil stays under about 120C, then a good 10w-40 might be a better option.

The Nanodrive CFS is, on paper, the best oil available, but the Pro S, Red Line and CFS are really good oils, so all are good choices for your car.

A 10w-60 is likely to be too thick, so won't flow properly. This explains why a 10w-60 is rarely a good choice.

Certain tuners recommend 10w-60s as they seem to think the thicker the oil, the better the protection, but a lot of the protection oil gives is due to the way it flows, so if it's too thick, protection is reduced.

Cheers
