WARNING OIL THREAD ALERT
Had it had become an oil thread, it would have been locked by now
What's an oil thread?
Ummm.....dunno either....ask MJ....he seems pretty clued up
Apparently this is correct, Car Mechanics Magazine seem to think that all alfas should be ran on Selenia 20k Long-Life oil, which I understand is semi-synth.
Personally I never heard of Selenia before, and it is also unsual for a car maker to specify the brand of oil to be used in their vehicels.
Nor can I understand why the Alfa engines are different than the rest of the world i.e. why they need a special brand of oil.
I don't think that Mobil-1 oil will do the engine any harm... or Vx own for that matter, as long as you stick to the manufacturer's recomended viscosity and grade (e.g. SL).
But if you run a search for Alfa forums and Selenia oil, I am sure you will find the oil threads going wild are not an exclusive Omega thing...
