Oil advice and recommendations here

Hey Oilman,

What do you recommend for gearbox oil on 2002 standard VTR. Done quite a bit mileage if that makes a difference? (120k)

[oilman]

This one is ideal http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-981-fuch...ion-fluid.aspx

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 Silkolene Pro S, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Gulf Formula G, 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 or Motul 6100

Use the code MAYOFFER for an extra 15% off.

v reg VTS 1.6

everyday road use, no track or such.

what engine oil would be best? ive got some castrol magnatec in the garage, is that all its cracked up to be?

[oilman]

Not really. If you have the 10w-40, the Magnatec is okay, but a 5w-40 synthetic is better. If you have the 15w-40, it's a pretty basic oil.

[CaptainYid]

yeah its the 10w-40. think its semi-synthetic (not sure)

is it worth keeping or getting different oil?

[oilman]

It will be fine, use it then get a synthetic next time

[Hazmanscoop]

Looking to change the oil on the car asap as its due a service

2000 Reg VTS
73k milage
Used for road and thats it

Mods:
Induction
Full exhaust + decat

Not sure on the current oil within the system but fancy a higher performance fully synt oil

Thanks

[oilman]

Go for a 5w-40 synthetic

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

Out of those, the best ones are the Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Gulf Formula G, Fuchs Supersyn and Mobil Synt S are good, cheaper alternatives.

[Hazmanscoop]

Went for the Mobil Synt S with the filters and the plugs i needed

Great deal with the MAYOFFER code
