2001 VTR
70000 Miles

getting exhaust system and filter very soon, What would yu reccomend?

Also what would you reccomend after a harsh cam is put in?

oilman 22nd September 2009 17:04

A good 5w-40 synthetic, if you want the best then ester based such as the Silkolene Pro S, Motul 300v, Redline and Gulf Comp here http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx

Cheers

full exhaust system, pannel filter, cat cams 708s

road/track

advice please

oilman 30th September 2009 16:09

Go for a 5w-40

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx

I would go for the Silkolene Pro S, Motul 300V, Redline or Gulf Competition as they are ester based and will deal with track tim a lot better than other oils.

Saxo vts 1.6 16v
90k on the clock
normal road use/fast road use

looking for something to offer good wearing protection (because of the mileage), what do you recommend? cheers.

oilman 7th October 2009 17:08

5w-40 synthetic is ideal, plenty here to suit all http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx

Hi again, you recommended i use 5w-40 is that ok to use in the winter months or would i be better off with 10-40? and whats your recomendation for gearbox oil.

oilman 11th October 2009 19:20

5w flows better from cold then 10w, so I would deffo go 5w-40. Its ideal for all year round use.

Hey Guy,
I bought some Silkolene PRO S as a replacement to my usual Millers XFS and some Fuchs Gearbox oil the other week... what can I say? Already returning some of the highest MPG I've ever got from the car and the engine is smoother from cold. It's not cheap but you get what you pay for in this world and I'm sure I recoup the costs through fuel saving... Thanks for recommending it (whoever I spoke to on the phone). Fantastic service and quick delivery, all the best.

Ads,

Thanks for the feed back, the Pro S is indeed awsome stuff. As good as it gets.

Cheers

Guy

Claki 16th November 2009 22:38

Hi again, what gearbox oil do you recomend for my current set-up?

exhaust sys
induction

and it is my daily drivabout. although i dont rag the life out of it, i do push it hard occasionly.

oilman 17th November 2009 09:29

The fuchs Titan Sintofluid 75w-80 would make a fine choice http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-981-fuch...ion-fluid.aspx

Cheers

Guy

saxovtsmad 27th November 2009 21:47

what oil should i be looking at for the following car
v reg mk2 vts
4-1 manifold
induction kit
magnex cat back
normal road use

oilman 28th November 2009 12:39

Top choice is a 5w-40 synthetic, all year round use. They dont have to cost too much either. Plenty to look at here http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx
