Hi,


What is the recommended oil for the 3.2 Carrera.


Is
Mobile
super S a good choice?




Also what is the recommended petrol for the 3.2 Carrera?




Super Unleaded or LRP?




Thanks

I believe you've got an 88 engine, which i understand means that it will run on 95 unleaded.

It will much prefer something like shell optimax though and improved economy and engine wear means i reckon its well worth the extra quid or two a tank.

Sorry, forgot about the oil.

That should be good oil, but a lot depends on the condition of the engine.

Have a leak test done by a decent outfit, obviousy check th ething over for leaks generally around oil lines and coolers. A thin oil, heated up in june traffic in london might expose more problems than it solves.

As your senders sus make sure you check the level properly and often.
