Oil

Post by glenoliphant »

'Hi all,

I just bought a PT-26, and would like to get some feedback on types of oil you are using for the Ranger.

In the manual it indicates to use straight SAE 60 and SAE 50 for winter.

I have heard some use 100 (SAE 50) mineral all the time.

Any feedback would be great.

Thanks

Glen'

'Thanks for the replies, just wondering if anyone uses mineral oil all the time. I have heard that this is common practice for these engines.

Cheers
