Synthetic-Oil

[Spanish S2]

Has anybody used this on there S. It mention's using it in the S series bible, but i've never used it
before( purchased it by mistake) Don't want engine to start with leak's, would anybody advise not to
use it. Thank's.

I use only Valvoline VR1 Racing 20w-50 in my S1. I did run it briefly on a synthetic flushing oil after fitting new heads but drained it immediately and refilled with the Valvoline.

Whilst running it to flush the oil galleries I noticed there was a fine spray line of oil on the chassis member below the crankshaft pulley. With the thicker Valvoline I don't get that line of oil so I guess the either the thinner stuff was able to make it past the crankshaft seal, or I loosened crud by flushing it and that has now sealed it properly!

This was taken on the 2019 EuroTour during the very hot summer. Why use anything else?
