Ok so this has been covered a million and one times in the past...
So my buggy is running a new engine its only done about 3000 miles...
I have been running it on 20w 50 and I always figured this was right because having the gearbox and the amount of abuse it got I figured a thicker oil would be good. I am however covering my engine bay in oil out of the breathers...
The reason why I question my thinking is since I bought the Cappo, the members on forum say they use fully synthetic 5w 40 I think.... I questioned this and they said its because its a nice thin oil for a high revving car....
I am not an engineer I know enough to get by and make repairs on the roadside etc but I'm puzzled....
