Are there any types of engine oil that shouldn't be used in a nova? Or any that really stand out an good oil to use, cos I'm due another oil change and am thinking about going to mobile 1.

ello dan mate )
always use quality stuff. i use fully synthetic in my 16v but ud be best with semi prob, dont know what engine u got tho, valvoline and millers are good.
My cars on the featured page if it helps, Dan Widger's 1.3 sr"
old nova engines + mobil 1 = bad news it is too thin an leaks out too easily so only use it in new or rebuilt engines
So what would you recommend?
a semi and not too thin
i'm using some ?16 stuff from halfords i can't remember the make but i've had no serious engine blow ups like i had on mobil 1
but better than good oil is checking oil daily
Every one shuold try ask the nice chaps at vauxhall, the do a quality semi-synthetic for about ?12 you can't get better than that, for vauxhall stuff as well!
yeah my mate at vauxhall got me some of that ages ago, I might see if he can get me some more.
I try to change the oil every few months, and thought I'd find out a bit more as I have modded me car a bit more, I and suppose I should be quite fussy about what I put in it now.
I've just put some GTX Stuff for basic engines in my mine and I have to say it seems to run alot smother then it did but I bet you can't tell till you try a few oils first! Mine cost (?6.99)
