oil type for leaky ej18

Post by stinky » Fri Dec 08, 2006 4:58 pm

Guys,

what's the best oil to use in my EJ18? It's developed a leak, not sure where from exactly yet. Am I best to put in a thicker oil to try and slow the leaking down? Is there a decent stopleak oil additive I can use ?

Or should I use it as an excuse to upgrade to a EJ22 ? :)

Keep your heads, use a 22 block....make a high compression screamer!
