Oil advice and recommendations here

[oilman]

For hard use I would look at a good 5w-40 synthetic for the engine, plenty to choose from but Motul and Silkolene are my favorites for performance.

For the gearbox, a good semi synthetic or full synthetic 75w-90.

Cheers

Hi mate what oil would you recogmend on a 98 saxo 1.1 just over 90k on the clock, thanks

[oilman]

Hi,

A 10w-40 semi synthetic wioth regular changes is ideal.

Brand wise, Fuchs, Motul and Silkolene.

What oil would you recommend for a 1.4i 1997 Saxo with 78k on the clock?

[oilman]

10w-40 semi synthetic with regular changes is fine, if you really want to treat it then 5w-40 synthetic changed every 8000 miles or once a year, which ever comes first.

Cheers

Guy.

Ok mate thanks alot. How much would this be roughly?

[motobruce]

What would you recomend for a ....

1998 saxo vts 90,000 on the clock. Fitted with newmans ph3 cams and new followers. Plus the usual mods like 4-2-1 manfiold, exhaust system enclosed filter.

Drive it quite hard every now and then on the road about not much motorway driving.

Hello i live in Greece and i want the best engine oil for my saxo 1.1 98'.I also want gear oil but the manual writes that for the gear box the most suitable is 75w-80,can i use 75w-90 fully synthetic like motul 300 75w-90?
Please oilman recommend me the best engine oil and the best and most suitable gear oil.i don't care about the cost.I currently have fuchs 5w-40.Thank you very much

[oilman]

75w-90 is fine and the Motul gear 300 is a goodun.

For the engine the Fuchs 5w-40 is good stuff. The next step up is to an ester based synthetic, like the Motul 300v or the Silkolene Pro S.

Cheers

Guy.
