Elise S2 111R - Which Oil

[Webbo700]

What oil viscosity would best suit....

Car lives in Scotland

Car sits for two weeks in garage unused.

The odd short trip jaunts, duel carriageway bolts , screaming back roads and the odd track day.......

I always use Mobil 1 or the shell equivalent , can't remember it's name offhand .

I think, oil like tyres is a bit like the emperors new clothes.... The 111r is a 1.8 Toyota Celica engine... so oil shouldn't be rocket science... checked the manual ?

I use Castrol Magnatec in my 111s all perfectly fine...

5w40 fully synthetic I believe? That's what my Exige has had in all the last service's anyway. Its due a change actually so I've just got to decide what brand to choose!?

Millers CFS 5w40 in mine... PROPER triple ester synthetic.

5/40 it is then.... I know what the manufacturer recommends for the toyota power plant but as i listed various mode of use of my vehicle in my thread thats the reason i was looking for info on the best viscosity... I will use mobil 1 as i have done with all my other motors but it was the best viscosity i was more interested in.

Thanks for your replies gents!!
