Oil advice and recommendations here

It's very good stuff, yes you can use cheaper, but if you want the best protection you have to pay for it

Whats the best price you can do on 5L Titan pro-s 10w-50 and new oil fiter and fuel filter?

price delivered please

Thanks Dan

out of interest whats the best oil for our engines? Track and weekend use. runnng 1bar,oil cooler fittd

 

[oilman]

At the moment, the best prices on those bits are the members prices on the website, but I think Guy is working on a Pro S offer

 

[oddrey]

What do you recommend for cars used in tough winters with temps down to -20 degrees celcius. A allround oil. Will the Mobil 1 5w-50 be ok?

 

[Fast Guy]

Nissan recommend 5w30 in very cold conditions and 10w30 in areas above -20c ambient.

 

[oilman]

5w-50 oils aren't great, they break down to be a 5w-40 or 10w-40 pretty quickly. I'd go for a good quality 5w-40 instead.

Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Millers XFS, Fuchs Supersyn, Shell Helix and Mobil Super 3000 are good, cheaper alternatives.

Cheers

OK, how is the Castrol magnatec 5w-40?

 

[oilman]

It's okay, I think. It's not something we have, so not too sure.

 

[oddrey]

Do you post to Norway?

 

[oilman]

We do, not cheap though. You can find delivery costs on our website.

Cheers

Guy.

OK, i think i stick to Dealers here in Norway. But i need a advice, can i use the Mobil Mobilube 1 SHC 75W-90 fully synthetic on the gear and diff on my Gtir? And since i own a Focus Rs mk1 too, can i use this, i use this car on a lot of trackdays so its important that the gear oil is good.

Thanks for good advices

 

[oilman]

Yep, the SHC 75w-90 should be just fine

Cheers

Guy

 

[johnsy]

what oil do you recommend for my RB gearbox? fastroad/track use

 

[oilman]

You need a 75w-90 for the gearbox and here are the ones we have.

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-673-75w-90.aspx

If you want to go for the best, the Millers CRX 75w-90 NT, Motul Gear 300, Gulf Competition, Redline MT90 and Millers TRX are ideal for the gearbox. The Castrol Universal, Motul Motylgear and Fuchs Gear Syn are all decent alternatives.

Cheers

Tim

Sorry, but that's sods law. When there is an offer, someone always misses out as they ordered just before, there's nothing that can be done about it.

Ah, all I can really say to that is don't listen to whoever said that. Semi is okay for a normal, unmodified road car, but a synthetic will protect better. Ask them why they said that, I can't think of any reasoning at all.
