what oil to use?
Hi .. can anyone tell me what the best oil to use in my DC2 is? I am using 5w30 esso Ultron but my car is still burning quite a bit of oil (probably 1L for 650m) ... can anyone suggest a slightly thicker alternative.
Thanks.

5w-30 is the more fuel economic oil. 10w-30 is pretty good oil to use, if you want 20w-50 is a more performance oil but, it is alot thinner when it is hot. it all depends on your location. but 10w-30 is probably the best. i'm not sure if you have the mobil 1 synthetic there or not, but that is your best choice other than Ams Oil, Ams is the best to use but very expensive. go with the Mobil 1 Full synthetic 10w-30

Re: what oil to use?
i use mobile 1 full synthetic oil on my gsr..it' works pretty good..but i use 5-30....i heard redline and ryole purple produces a couple h.p. but they're expensive stuuf for one quart.....make sure you get the stock oil filter because it works best than 3 dolars oil filter and don't forget to get new washers for the drain bolt because if you don't than oil can leak out...

there should be. and trust me on this, DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THE DRAIN BOLT. the only time that i took my car to super rip off i mean super lube, they stripped my drain plug, i did not realize it until i got home and my dad told me my car was leaking oil on the driveway, took it back to super lube and they told me that b/c i signed the form at the begining it did not make them respnsible for the bolt b/c i left the property without informing them. AS&*%*$S. so i had to install a new oil pan. but yea there should be a washer there.

Royal purple 10W30 is the best all-around oil. It's what I use in my 250WHP daytona, and what I used to use in my 225 WHP turbo LS teg before I sold it.
