Right then, question for oilman and I'll try and make sence here (but no promises....)
I'm putting another engine into my car and going to need oil for it. It's a 2.1 from a 406 (turbodiesel)
Now, I would just use Fuchs Pro Race S 5w/40 because it will be good for the engine.....now here's the confusing bit....
The 1.9 variant has been know to thorw rods (I think due to the idiots who tune them) but I also think it boils down to the oil used. I think the oil gets too hot and get's too thin. Every one of those engines I've seen taken appart show exessive ware on the crank jornals and the big end barings (all tuned up engines) one case I saw was also using Fuchs Pro race s (same weight) eventually I'm going to get me an oil cooler to help keep the oil temps under control. Should I use a different weight oil (maybe a thicker one) in the series, I reckon i'm going to be running over 200 hp (double the standard power) and I won't be using it every day.
Any suggestions? Also should I use a flush to get rid of the gunk that's in there?
Also what oil for my 205 1.8 turbo diesel? Is pro race ok again? that car I will be using every day c
Thanks again man I hope I made sence and you see where I'm coming from.
