This should help. and X-treme UK (a.k.a. RalliArt) recommendations for Evos 1-10...don-dada wrote:... i have another question for you, what oil do you all use in your evo's? wanted to hear what other owners use... thanks

Any preferred brand of oil for this initial break in?
For instance, a normally aspirated 4-banger revving to 7,000 rpm (w/ "street" cam & making < 180-200 lb/ft torque @ flywheel) will be less "picky" than a well modified engine. eg. Evo 4G63 with 450+ lb/ft WTQ & going to 8,000+ rpm.
It also depends on which "add-ons" are used... eg. if you use an FP Red/Black turbo on that same Evo 4G63 engine then you MUST use an oil that's high in zinc & phosphorus high pressure additives... Yup, IMHO even for a 3-mile "break-in."

FP's
"A word to the wise..." So when all the local "experts" tell you otherwise , ask yourself if they know as much as those giving the recommendations above... and remember... IT'S YOUR ENGINE! YOU have to pay for repairs!Amsoil = only "Dominator Racing Oil" grades.
Mobil1 = only "Racing 4T" and "V-Twin" and "0W-xx Racing" grades.
Royal Purple = only 3 types of "XPR" grades.
Valvoline = only "VR1 Racing Oil" and "Valvoline® NSL Synthetic."

wanted some info, my original evo radiator has a small leak, I went by Ishmael in El Socorro, he does not have the top tank to replace mines with, so instead of the aluminum after market radiators, is there any other place that might repair the original radiator? That anyone could suggest.
Also if i have to go with the aftermarket, where has and prices? and what are the pros and cons of replacing the original with an aftermarket one.
Thanks again all
