Willis Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 In the FAQ/Wiki section there's a mention of what oils would be better suited for a K motor. I think it's in the "How to build a tough K motor" by Tazrx I believe??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzy_10 Posted February 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 but what oil do you use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willis Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Penrite. Can't remember viscosity. Haven't driven the car in ages, haven't needed to top it up. There's a bottle of it downstairs in the garage, can't be bothered to go check though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezzaclub Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Any 20W-50, the last one being Motoguard which I think is Repco's house brand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rian Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I've been using what ever crap dad puts in his tractor, reason: free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I put the crap from Crazy Clarks in my 4k, 15 bucks for 4 litres. Does the job, depends what state your engine is in I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coln72 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Used to use BP Corse Plus in my first Rolla. In the racer, it was what was lying around the shed, usually Castrol RX Super as the old man used it at work ;) and in his Patrol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KENut Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I used Castrol GTX 20W50 in my standard 4k's, and Penrite 15W40 in my mild 4K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben-89 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Castrol GTX is good blend, originally recommended for k engines from new and its quite affordable. Sometimes autobarn have it on sale for $12.00 so I just grab 3 or 4 bottles at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzy_10 Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 yeah 3 bottles at once for 12.99 each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
