He can use semi or full synthetic, does not matter.

5w-40 synthetic would be the quality choice, or if he really doesnt want a synthetic a 10w-40 semi synthetic.

Cheers

craigy_87 · 15th April 2008, 14:30

what can you recommend for my 306gti-6
its 10 years old an would like some fully synthetic to keep it protected well

thanks

oilman · 15th April 2008, 17:24

If you want the best have a look at the ester based 5w-40 synthetics such as the Silkolene Pro S, Motul 300v.

If you dont want to spend that kind of money have a look at the fuchs titan supersyn 5w-40 and the Motul 8100 5w-40.

For a mix of both road and track a 5w-40 synthetic is ideal, have a look at Fuchs, Motul and Silkolene.

AxForteVTS · 26th May 2008, 01:03

Hi,

I have a Citroen AX GTI, running a VTS Engine, 4-1manifold, straight through exhaust, CAI, no cat...

Every so often when running the car(2nd car) it goes a bit tappety for a min or so, normally after having a blast... no i belive this could be the cam followers (being lazy!) and not filling up right... She's due for an oil change, so firstly do you think it's just dirty, cheap oil causing this and what would be recommended?

Also would you suggest an engine flush and how do you carry these out?

Cheers,

Dom

5w-40 synthetic, as above if you want the best then ester based are it such as the Silkolene Pro S and the Motul 300v but you dont have to go that far if you dont want, half way ground are the synthetics of the Motul 8100 and the Fuchs Titan Supersyn.
