just got around to changing oil, the filter isnt for a mk2 vts though, mines metal and this is well i dont know what model would use this

[oilman]

Did you get the filter from me?

Cheers

Guy.

[Yates]

yes, this is what turned up not for a mk2 vts

[oilman]

I see, Saxos take more than one filter, some of the later models moved on to cartridge type, thats what you have there. Sorry about that

PM me your order nmumber and I will get the correct filter sent out for you.

Cheers

quick question for a high mile engine thats done 130k what grade would you rcommend? it is a 106gti that will more than likely never see track action. Everythign else is in pretty much good working order

[yerdusk]

What would you recommend for a 1972 1300cc beetle thats done around 100k, and will be doing about 150 miles per week?

Cheers.

[oilman]

Even with a high mile'er a good 5w-40 synthetic is the quality choice, on a budget then go for a 10w-40 semi synthetic.

Wayne,

5w-40 synthetic for the engine, have a look at something like the Motul 8100 Xcess 5w-40, Fuchs Titan Supersyn 5w-40 here http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx If you want to go all out the ester based Silkolene Pro S 5w-40.

For the filter, have a look at some filter foam oil http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-639-clea...additives.aspx

Cheers

Hi oilman, you live in truro ? I live in Redruth.

What oil and filter would you recommend for a Citroen Saxo VTS Mk2 2001?

It has done 85k miles, pretty much standard at the moment but future engine modifications in mind.

Thank you
Anthony

[oilman]

Live near truro, work in Redruth.

5w-40 synthetic is ideal, 10w-40 semi if you are on a budget. Stock filter is fine.

We have them all and you can same some money by coming in to collect.

Cheers

Guy
