These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

15 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 10Original post

Millers Nanodrive CFS 10w-50. love this stuff.used on many of my previous cars

POST 11Original post

used a 10w 60 in my escort cosworth and was superb maybe just a little bit thick for a tt ??

POST 13Original post

I think all the tuners (on here and in the US) may disagree, the 0 is far too thin for our climate and I never think the 40 is thick enough :dont know: 50 is OK but the 60 is better IMO especially now higher mileages are clocking up

POST 14Original post

must admit when i 1st used 10w 60 in the escos i could not believe the oil pressure.both hot and cold

POST 15Original post

0W oil is perfect...........................in Siberia !!! Most other cars have different recommendations depending on climate, so you would not use the same oil in Hawaii as you would Sweden !!!!!
