LCR - Silkolene

[james.l]

Hello,

Going to be servicing my BAM LCR soon, want to get the best possible stuff for it. Am I right in thinking that the Silkolene Pro S is the best stuff for a stage 2 LCR? Is there anything that is better or as good?

Many Thanks

Edit : Also looking for some decent gearbox oil and power steering fluid as these need chaning too.

Thanks

The Pro S is as good as anything on the market. There are others that are as good, but I wouldn't say anything is better.

I'd use an MTF in the gearbox and I would go with the Redline MTL, Amsoil MTF or Fuchs Sintofluid. The Millers EP 75w-80 is a good cheaper alternative

This is ideal for the power steering

What would you say is as good as the Pro S?

[oilman]

The Millers CFS, Redline, Motul 300V and Gulf Competition are good alternatives to the Pro S.

Do you know how many litres of each I will need?
Engine Oil
Gearbox Oil
Power Steering.

Hi

The engine needs 5L, the gearbox 2.3L and the power steering is about a litre.

Cheers
