Running In Oil

(1/2) > >>

Guy90:
I've just put this stuff into the new engine as directed by Turners. It's like water!!. However it seem to make the engine smoke more than it would on the real stuff. There's no way it'll get though the MOT. How long should I use this stuff for before I change it for real oil?

Paul:
Guy,

Didn't Turners tell you when to change it ?

robbie:
Guy,

I wouldnt want to run too long on that without seeking advice from the garage..........

Guy90:
No they didn't! Doesn't say anywhere in all the stuff they sent. It seems to suggest that you leave it in for 500 miles but that can't be right can it? I ran stationary for 30 mins yesterday and was going to do the same tonight and then change it for the real stuff.

Guy

robbie:
Does it not state a max speed during this period?? 500 miles for weak oil does seem quite alot to me too
