Im just a bit "meh" on the subject of oil, since I cant see/feel the difference between GTX and better stuff.

Yeah, I know what you mean bud, obv you'd never 'feel' the difference in any oils. It's the the internals of the engine and the engine life where the difference is noticed.

I'm sure GTX is still a good oil to use. I just think if you love it, treat it so hate-eyeheart

For the extra £10-20 once a year I reckon it's worth it Smile

GTX is good oil, but not really spec'd high enough for the H22, it's a high revving, high stress engine, it needs a slightly "pimped" oil.

I've just replaced the black sludge in mine with some Mobil1 0-40W from Costco, 4L for £22.

Cool, glad you got it sorted bud Very Happy

Make sure you don't over fill the engine past the Max mark on the dip stick, this can be very bad for the engine!

I'm always using Mobil1 Super S 10W/40 - on all cars which I had.

Is it true that Mobil is manufactured by Shell??? I don not think so... Question
