Hi Matty
I guess you could say the Castrol Edge is the best option for the engine as it's PAO based and the others are hydrocracked http://www.opieoils.co.uk/pdfs/tech-...scriptions.pdf
It's a tricky one for the gear oils - Red Line is the best on paper as it's ester based, the Amsoil has been the most popular and it very well proven across a lot of cars, the Sintofluid is the cheapest and it's the most popular now.
Cheers
Tim

We would recommend 5w-40 synthetic as the top choice, if you wanted to use edge then is would be the Edge 5w-40 to go for. There are plenty of other good ones to choose from here http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx
Cheers
Guy

Hi Ado
A 5w-40 synthetic is the best choice.
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 Syn MC, Shell Helix, Millers Trident, Castrol Magnatec, Mobil Super 2000 or Motul 6100
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-657-10w-40.aspx
Cheers
Tim

Hello there,what oil would you recommend for a 3 plug VTS 16v? i noticed since i replaced the old oil (CarLube 5w 30 Fully Synthetic) with the Castrol GTX 10w 40 Part Synethic the engine temp is slightly higher,would you suggest to go back to the 5w 30 spec?
Many thanks.

Hi Tim,
What would you advise for a:
Saxo 1.1i (standard)
Yr 00
210k Km
Runs mostly on the highway, at 110km, but tends to speed up to 130/140 km/hr once a while
& a
Vw Polo 1.0 (standard)
Yr 00
152k Km
Drive up to 125Km/hr
What would be best considering here (in Mauritius) it warm almost everyday, even in winter (lowest temp would be around 12/13 degress only)
Cheers
Joel

Hi Joel
What oil do you currently use? Do they burn much oil? Are there any problems with oil pressure?
Cheers
Tim
