Saxo VTS
1997
Full service history 70k
Been using Race synthetic oil like fusch titan race pro s. Only do about 6,000 miles in a year so change once a year.
Was looking for a cheaper oil this year and was thinking is a race synthetic really needed? I do short journeys and if out on the weekend will give a blast to the red line here and there.
Will for example the gulf formula G be fine for more needs or would a race synthetic offer more protection?

Hi
A race quality synthetic will always give the most protection, but something like the Formula G will give much better protection than a standard 10w-40 semi.
Cheers

Ideally, you want to do the engine and gearbox if it's been sat for that long, but you might get away with just doing the engine.
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 NT/CFS, 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
You need an MTF for the gearbox and I would go with the Redline MTL, Amsoil MTF or Fuchs Sintofluid. The Millers EP 75w-80, Gulf Gear TX and Motul Motylgear are good cheaper alternatives.

Make: Honda
Model: Civic
Year: 1990? (H reg)
Engine size/type: 1.4 Dual Carb Manual
Any mods: None
Type of use (road/track): Road
Could you please recommend the best oil for this please?
I also think the gearbox fluid will need to be changed so if you could recommend that too that would be good
It's been sat for almost a year unused and was only started the other day, the oil is full and the guy said he hasn't changed it since he first got it so im gonna have a full service done.

They take the same as Saxos - a 5w-40 synthetic is the best option.

All of those are synthetic.

Hi folks,
With winter here and plenty of cold starts, perhaps it's time to consider changing the oil that you use in your car.
Does your antifreeze need changing?
Is your gearshift okay when cold?
Do you need something to protect your car from the weather?
We have free delivery to UK mainland for orders over £40 at the moment so it is a good time to order from opieoils.co.uk
Let us know if you need any advice, we are here to help. You can call us on 01209 202944, email us at sales@opieoils.co.uk, or just ask here.
Cheers
oilman

First of all, I'd use the Millers CRO to get it run in
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-60229-mi...ng-in-oil.aspx
When it's done, a synthetic 5w-40 is a better option.
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx
Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS NT/CFS, 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.
