Yep, I'm getting close to start up!
What is the recommended viscosity for a SOHC EJ25 please folks?
What are you all using?
Mineral? Synthetic?

Thanks,

Andy.

I put Fuchs synthetic in my DOHC EJ25 the other day. Not the top of the range stuff but the next one down, can't remember the figures but it was about Au$46 for 5 litres, which is excellent value for a fully synthetic oil.
It had a sticky lifter, but after an oil flush and the synthetic it's heaps better.

Thanks for your reply Pete.
I rang a dealer who recommended a 10-30 oil so I have bought a synthetic of that multigrade.
