choice of engine oil

Post by peanutcrusher » Sun Aug 23, 2009 10:31 pm

which make would be the best to put in the bongo.
i was looking at gtx magnatec because i was told that there is no different between oil for petrol and diesel engine these days. would this be a good idea or is there a better option to go with?
Bongo now work later !!! :) :)

I use a cheap oil and change often as i'm running 100% veg, although I havn't seen any signs of contamination when changing.

You can't polish a turd - but you can roll it in glitter.

I'm using magnatec designed for diesels, and find I don't need to change every 3k miles. Just aswell as that would mean near 6 changes a year. :(
