Hi only one engine oil to use for the x/flow. 20/50 Valvoline racing. or VR1 i think its called now.

Springs is dependent on many things but ballpark is 300lb - 350lb front and 120lb - 150lb rear.

Any questions regarding the locost championship would get a quicker more informative reply in the racing section .

HTH cheers Matt

OH and welcome
