Engine oil

[Hoghead]

There is a thread running on this subject on Pelican Parts 911 technical forum right now. Wade through all the pages and decide for yourself, but Brad Penn (sounds like an actor) seems the oil of choice.

Great stuff if you can get it however for those of us not in the USA, we need to look at other choices.
ACVW engines have a lot in common with bike engines. I use Mobil 1 Delvac in everything I own. Yes this is diesel oil but read this and decide for yourself:

While you are thinking about oil, think about the filter. If you do not have a filter, install one. I use only Purolator Pure 1 filters for the following reasons:

I've had a discussion recently with Charles (LN Engineering) about this.

Hello Hoghead
You mentioned that it is important with clean oil, I agree.
Here is an alternativ for oilfilter. It is from the hydraulic world, its a return filter for lid mounting on hydraulic tank. But it works very well with car engines.
It has a 10 mikron nominal filtration which is far better than a standard car oil filter. The larger size and filter area compensate the pressure drop increased by the better filtration.
As you see it is quite easy to mount it under the rear fender (I will probably mount some kind of protection plate in front of it).
I bought it from my local Parker store and also the steel braided teflon hoses.

We are a couple of guys who runs the filters both on street and race with good result.
