Hi
Iam also a proud owner of the 3.2s trying to service it myself with some help still not sure what oil to use Paragon a specialst say 5w 40 Semi dont think that right but its not clear in the book
anyone got any ideas for me so i get it right, it drives lovely i do not want to muck anything up.

Many thanks

Opie Oils are very good at recommending what’d be right for your car. You could try emailing or phoning them.

mobil 1 fully synthetic 0-40w 50 quid from costco or £80 from halfords

I thought I'd have heard of 3.2s running 10/40 Magnatec? 5/40 Semi synth I'd have thought more than adequate, it would be far better than it would have had when it was new.

I use Mobil 1 the thicker one 15/50 I think.

To the best of my knowledge Mobil 1 came out as a 5/20 fully synthetic in 1974

It was later changed and according to Mobil's own web site approved by Porsche in 2002

I use Castrol Magnatec 10/40 ( see Jim's comment) on my 993 having changed from Castrol 1, as have a few other 993 owners

Thanks for that info gave me some Ideas
After all that Shell do a 5w 40 fully called Shell Ultra I think a fully would be better although it is an older car now plenty of miles 60k+

think this will be ok seemed to go alright after the service.
also if any one can let me know when the monthly meeting in Kent is thought the area was Crown Point pub near Seal is it ok just to turn up.
What do they get up to?

thanks

Shell should be good I ran that in an Alfa & it significantly lowered the oil consumption.

Yes of course you are welcome to turn up at a SELNK meetings. It is the first Friday of the month. next meet is 5th June. We normally kick off at around 19:30 & you're more than welcome.
