When it comes to good lubrication you cant go past KY... though you're obviously getting verrry friendly with your 20v... :)

Standard specs say 10w 30 I think. Try club4ag.com, toymods.com or billzilla.org

Hi Guys,

Well in both Dads 4AGZE and My 4AGE 20V we run Castrol Edge.
Im about to head over to Dads so Ill get the numbers. Because there is 2 Castrol Edges that are close together. But we run the thicker one.

i've been running the castrol edge 5 w 30 ,
but was thinking of going to a thicker viscosity oil
since you lost 2 engines ,

i recon a single rate oil would be better to ,
as a race engine is alway at operating temp ,
but im a bit worried if it'll affect the VCT ,

i was wonderring if the differant tracks can have affect ,
colo is a great drivers track , tight and twisty ,
which will cause oil serge ,
were some tracks over here are like freeways ,
wide and stright ,

mabe you should get gary's mivec ,
adams goes hard , when it goes !!

Pennzoil GT Performance Racing 25W50.

Make sure it is the racing oil.

However, you need to look at your oil temp. I have seen Castrol Edge synthetic that could not cope with the heat (John Towers , Mildura, many years ago)and turned the oil into black stinky poo. Direct replacement with Penzoil no more problems.

Have a look at the oil temp and decide.
