Hi
It's fine to mix oils.
I think I'd go for a 10w-40 full synthetic, if it burns a lot, change to a 10w-50.
Cheers
Tim

I have some castrol 5w-30 fully syn left over from one of my old cars and I was wondering if it would be to light for my MK2 vtr. the engine is serviced every 8k from new and i only at 61k.
Would this be ok?
Thanks

Hi
That should be fine for normal road use, if it's modified or gets used on track, go for a 5w-40.
Cheers
Tim

Hello I have just bought a 1999 vtr 106k miles, using daily driven hard from time to time. I need to do a full service as it has come with no history. I also live in redruth would it be cheaper to collect rather than deliver?
Can you recommend the following please
Engine oil (Fuchs TITAN SUPERSYN 5W-40??)
Oil filter
Fuel filter
Gearbox oil (Fuchs TITAN SINTOFLUID SAE 75W-80 synthetic??)
Coolant
Sparks?
Cheers!

Hi
The Supersyn and Sintofluid are ideal.
Here are the filters
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-7062-oil...r-2503200.aspx
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-8580-fue...s-3171000.aspx
Motul Inugel, Castrol, Fuchs Eskimo or Fuchs Pro Cool are ideal for the coolant
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-458-cool...ion-fluid.aspx
Lots of plugs to pick from, you can look them up via this link
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-342-car-...low-plugs.aspx
If you let me know what you want, I'll get it ready for you to collect.
Cheers
Tim

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, Shell Helix, Fuchs Supersyn and Mobil Super 3000 are good, cheaper alternatives.
As a budget choice, a 10w-40 will be fine and I would either go for the Fuchs XTR, Shell Helix, Millers XSS or Motul 6100
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-657-10w-40.aspx
Cheers
Tim

As it's quite new, you need to be careful with the oil, post 2000 VWs can have really bad problems if the wrong oil is used

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, 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.
With your car, there are two choices of what to fill your gearbox with.
The first way is to use an oil specifically aimed at the gearbox, which needs a manual transmission fluid.
I would go with the Redline MTL, Amsoil MTF or Fuchs Sintofluid.
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-670-75w-80-75w-85-mtfs.aspx
The problem is that the MTFs aren't designed for LSDs and the oil will breakdown at a quicker rate than normal, but the gear changes will be nice and easy.
The second way is to use the Fuchs Syn 5.
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-68901-fu...-5-75w-90.aspx
The Syn 5 is the only oil approved by Quaife, but it's a bit too thick for your gearbox, making the changes a bit harder. It will last longer than the MTFs though.
Cheers
Tim
