okay, thanks guys, I’ll leave it in and keep an eye on it in the coming weeks and hope for the best.
I am rather unkeen on engine problems as I wouldn’t really have the time to sort them besides busy work with wintertesting in Lapland the week before the raid.
I picked 0W40 because of the 40 (hot grade) so as Mika says it has the same viscosity when the engine is warm. My engine is some 130000km old since a rebuild with a good used crank and cam.. gaskets should not be much older than 4 years as I rebuild the lot on a different crankcase due to a crack in the old case.Hi fastpage, I think we can get most things in Scandinavia, though on some particular items the price tag is the tricky part 😉 If you want to make friends, bring a bottle of multi malt whisky.. I know at least one participant (not me) whom is very keep on that 😀
Spass bei seite, I have some technical questions for organizers or experienced Lapland raiders:
Oil… I did an oil change to 0W40 on Wednesday but before and after several people questioned the use of thin synthetic oil.. I know it is one of the organizations’ recommendations, but do you really run this thin stuff?? and do you have almost only good experiences with it in 2CVs? No oil leaks or worse engine damage?
Both a Finnish and a Swedish colleague here in Södertälje (both with roots in the north) said they would make a different choice and run slightly thinner but oil still commonly used on old engines, like 10W40.Spare tires: is just one enough or should I bring two?
