i read it somewhere that this site existed but couldnt remember nowt except it was run by castrol

2 mins of digging on their site and i found it

although lubesinfo sounds dodgy!

They use a database called OATS, the same one as we use but theirs is tailored to their products, ours just gives the specs required.

which brings me to the question... since i live in a hot climate (80 degrees Farinheit/around 28 degrees Celsius is a cool day to us) which kind of oil should i use in my VR-4 why i ask is because all the reccomendations i have found are weights we cant get

[Opie Oils]

15w-50/10w-50 that sort of grade, what do you have available to you out there?

Cheers

I would personally stick to something within the manufactures recomendations; if you look in your book you will quickly find it. A 50 weight is outside of this and dependant upon your year so might be a 40 weight ! Just make sure you buy the very best oil you can get, if its not Amsoil then a real full synthetic such as Mobile 1 will have to do you and stick to the manufactures recomended drain periods too. So maybe a 5w-30 5w-40 10w-40

[Opie Oils]

Alternative recommendations, Engine, Petrol: <-10°C, 5W-20 (exceptions: GDi); <10°C, 5W-30; <20°C, 5W-40; <20°C, 5W-50; -30°C to 40°C, 10W-30; >-30°C, 10W-40; >-30°C, 10W-50; >-15°C, 15W-40; >-15°C, 15W-50; >-10°C, 20W-40; >-10°C, 20W-50

I don't think you'll need a 5w or even a 10w in The Bahamas.
