After 6 months in storage it's nearly time to put my turbo back on the road. It was purchased in October last year, some of you may recall seeing a Titan Grey bridge spoiler model in Autotrader that was quite cheap. (photos and introduction to follow shortly)
Having read through some previous threads it seems I should have changed the oil before it went into storage. Nevertheless I thought it best to get the old stuff out now, especially as the previous owner was using a Halfords own brand oil. By the way it's on 115k on a replacement engine and I'm not intending to track it or drive it to death!
Now here's the thing, I'm really starting to obsesse about brand, grade etc. Silkolene pro s 10 / 50 seems the one most people favour, however its not cheap and really hard to find other than mail order. Mobil 1 seems cheaper but I have read horror stories about turbo's failing etc. Do I therefore;
a) Get a life, stop worrying and use Mobil 1 etc.
b)Hold out and spend the extra on Silkolene.
c) Seek medical help for obsessing about lubricants.
