Bossman Neutral Newbie October 16, 2002 Share October 16, 2002 any issues that could arise ? i somewhat feel that the car is heavier and the throttle response not so good after changing. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presea 3rd Gear October 16, 2002 Share October 16, 2002 I changed from Havoline to Mobil tri synthetic.... There was no change except that Havoline lasted me only 8000km before I had to change, and Mobil 1 has lasted me 15000km and going strong. I've heard many negative remarks and rumours about Mobil 1 (oil breaks down)....but I find it to be rather good. Except that it costs more than usual. I should be trying Fuchs SuperSyn, as a cost-effective "next change". Read some good reviews, and costs only $48. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presea 3rd Gear October 16, 2002 Share October 16, 2002 And throttle response... I did a century sprint today for the fun of it, and had an estimated 10.5s (hand-timed) for my Presea. As I had a poor launch (was trying hard to avoid wheelspin), and with my 205/45R16 tyres, I know this is a decent timing. No mods in my car, except a "aluminium & cardboard heat shield" + "cardboard aided cooler-air channeling". cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madarmour Neutral Newbie October 17, 2002 Share October 17, 2002 What's the viscosity rating of those oils you use? Rather than comparing brands, IMO it's better to compare the visco rating. Changing from a thinner to a thicker oil may cause the symptoms you experienced. Unless the two type of oil has the same viscosity, of course.

Presea 3rd Gear October 17, 2002 Share October 17, 2002 I agree. Then we can do 0-100kmh, 0-160kmh, 0-400m/quartermile, 100-0kmh! Been dying to know if my handtiming is accurate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
