If you could stick it in there for me that would be great. Cheers Guy.

This post may seem like going back to basics but we are constantly surprised by the amount of people who do not know or understand what is written on a bottle of oil and therefore have no idea of what they are looking for, buying or using. This post should help as a basic guide, for more...

The 10w-50 from elf will be fine, an average quality oil. If at a good price buy it but the best quality options are the ester based oils of Silkolene and Motul. Like all things, you get what you pay for... if your lucky. Cheers Guy.

We are asked all the time about the use of magic addatives / miracle cures. This one is certainly no exception in its claims. Having read about it, I asked Silkolene was this a miracle addative and were the claims possible or more importantly technically possible? If you're...

Good choice of oil sir. Cheers Guy.

Silkolene Pro S 5w-40 or the Motul 300v 5w-40. Cheers Guy.

The term synthetic is one big grey area when it comes to oil as many labled as such are in fact hydrocracked mineral oils.... hense the guy with the comma oil and impreza's, its not a true synthetic. You will always pay a premium for synthetic oil for a few reasons, they are better, they cost...

The Castrol 0w-30 is really designed as a long life oil for BMW and VAG type engines, it shte way things are going and in the next few years you will probably see some french cars running around on this type of grade. As it stands at the moment a 5w-40 or 0w-40 would be a better choice as it...

Yep, 5w-40 or 0w-40 full synthetic is the best choice. The best of these are the ester based synthetics of Motul and Silkolene, followed by the pao synthetics like Amsoil, Mobil, Castrol Edge and Fuchs. Cheers Guy.

Most flushes are kerosene or paraffin mixes and can over clean the engine if you like, to the point where it can strip out deposits made by the bedding in process, plus you will never get it all out so whats left will start to work on breaking down the new oil once it goes in. A good quality...

DOnt bother with any flushes, they can do much more harm then good. There is no substitute for using a quality oil, as long as you are using one they will do all the cleaning you need to keep the engiine tip top. Cheers Guy.

It is but could be considered overkill in some quarters. Yes you can go fully synthetic now it is run in Cheers Simon

It's certainly better than no oil Cheers Simon

No mobil1 is not owned by comma. Should have gone for the Pro R 15w-50, far better for your engine than 10w-60 Cheers Simon

Our best price is in the members section of our website, if you bought it there then you will have got the best price on offer on the day. We have various sales, announced on this forum when we offer discounts for a week. Cheers Simon

GDI swear by it and rightly so, it does make a difference. Quality oil! Cheers Simon

The mostr common ones are the Mobil 1 0w-40 and 15w-50, and the Catrol Edge Sport range. Cheers.

Is it just at start up or all the time? and what oil are you currently using? Cheers

Castrol Edge (not edge sport) and Mobil1 Cheers Simon

There is no comparison. Shell is a mineral based synthetic for road use Silkolene is a proper manmade synthetic race oil designed for road/track Cheers Simon

If you care about your car, I wouldn't Cheers Guy

The Dragon guys took the European Rotary Record too on Sunday with a 9.3sec 1/4. That broke their existing record of 9.6sec There were some good times run on Sunday! Cheers Simon

Don't use oil addatives, they are all a total waste of money. Cheers Guy

Erm... we have streets, we have cars and often they are in stock form. Sounds like English to me. We also have race tracks, and modded cars... some only used on track. So I guess there may be a small difference between the two and their requirments.

There is nowhere cheaper than us with the Club Price Use the 5w-40 unless you are seeing oil temps in excess of 120degC Cheers Guy

It's expensive for what you get as it's a mineral based synthetic not a true one but it is fine for stock street cars Cheers Guy

Basestock categories and descriptions All oils are comprised of basestocks and additives. Basestocks make up the majority of the finished product and represent between 75-95%. Not all basestocks are derived from petroleum, in fact the better quality ones are synthetics made in laboratories...
