Hi there, I have a Regata 85S automatic welcome to the forum. If you want to talk Regata PM me.

weather gets a hotter here in egypt and my car always hits the 110F

i meant that my car always hits the 110C which actually equals 230F , sry for that...

Bump^^ any ideas!

I reckon Mobil XHP 20W50 is a good choice as it meets ACEA A3 spec.

What are your typical ambient temps in Egypt?

You can get Shell Helix Super in 20W50 but this meets ACEA A2, so the Mobil XHP is a better oil but both are good.

P.S. Welcome

thanks for every single word wrote by all respectable members...

danielsydney -- hope you enjoy your regatta

Dan89 -- hey danny, temp approximately summer 35-40c | winter 18-28c, and as i said before i used to put mobil xhp 20w-50 within it, what about using a lower viscosity oil with a rebuit engine?! shell recommends shell helix super 15w-40...

Christian -- me too, im in love with regattas & will upload some beautiful collected hot shots for 'em & mine later...

Ffoxy -- thanks bro ;p

Great pics of the Regata. i didn't realize in the Manual how close the pedals are together. I thought the auto was bad enough.
