Recently bought 5w-40 fully syn for my vts and changed the oil and the filter,was in a motor factors buying other stuff and told them and they said that this oil is too thin for the car and will burn far too quickly and that i should just run 10w-40,what are you views on this?

My view is they do not really know what they are talking about. There is no reason why you cannot use 5w-30, its not too thin. The engine is happy on 5w-30, 10w-30, 5w-40, 0w-40 and 10w-40.

Cheers

Guy.

Thanks for the info,it was as if they thought the oil was too good for a saxo.

Thanks.

Dear OILMAN!

I have a 1.6 Vts with 140Kkm (87Kmiles) and i use Castrol Edge Sport 10W-60.
Now, i must go working every morning with car. The distance only 10km (6miles)!
Shortly i must change the oil. What recommend you?

Thak you your answer!

Cheers!

At next oil change get rid of the 10w-60 and go for a 5w-40, all the SAE60 is doing is giving it high blood pressure, just like us thats not a great thing.

Cheers

Oilman,

52 plate Saxo going in for a service on Monday. Any particular grade of oil I should go for? I was thinking along the lines of a 5W-30 or 5W-40.

Thanks

Hi

Go for a 5w-40

I'd go for a 5w-40 synthetic in the engine and 75w-80 for the gearbox. What brands can you get in Turkey?

ı can buy mobil,castrol oil
how is 0-40 or 10-60 mobil oil?

i can find motul oil

Go for either the Mobil 0w-40 of one of the Motul 5w-40s like the 8100 X-Cess or 300V.

Cheers

Citroen
Saxo
2002
1.6 vtr

Any mods
Supersprint - Piper exhaust

Type of use (road/track)
Mainly road use, mixture of motorway, urban and rural driving

And 2-3 track days a year

I would go 5w-40 synthetic, ideal for a mix of road and track.

Loads to choose from http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx

Cheers

Guy

Guy,

Hope you are well mate

I have a 52 plate VTR with Raceland induction kit and Peco exhaust..

In DESPERATE need of some good oil, do i just fill it up and will it not matter about what is currently in there?

20w/50?
 

Hi everyone (newbie here) :ponder:

The Oil is low on our 2001 Saxo 1.1 . I have a bottle of 20W/50 oil - is this OK to use - i'm not too worried about performance.

Is 20w/50 ok?

Hi

I would use a 5w-40 synthetic and you will find those through the link below.

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx
Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Millers XFS, Fuchs Supersyn and Mobil Synt S are good, cheaper alternatives.

As a budget choice, a 10w-40 will be fine and I would either go for the Fuchs XTR, Millers XSS or Motul 6100

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-657-10w-40.aspx

It will mix fine with what's already in there.

Cheers

Hi

No, it's not really any good. You want an oil that is thinner both when hot and cold, something like a 5w-40 or 10w-40.

Cheers

Tim
