5w-40 will be ideal for that lot.
There is little difference between the oils, the Gulf is very well priced purely because it was how Gulf could see they could get into the group V market by being the best value and that does not take anything away from the quality of it.

Hi all
Just to let you know, the stock delay for the quarts and aerosol variants of ACF-50 has now been resolved - it is back in stock in all sizes and ready to ship!
Cheers,

Hi all, just a quick heads up from Opies here.
Sunday 2nd October marks the last race meeting of 2016 at Knockhill. As sad as it may be that the season is coming to a close, the final round of the Scottish Championship Car Racing Series is always a great event and goes out with a bang. Titles...
With summer coming to a close, autumn is just around the corner. Of course, once autumn is out of the way, we've got winter to look forward to, and we all know what the greatest danger to our vehicle over winter is...RUST!
Opie Oils can help you keep the rust and corrosion at bay, thanks to our...
Any fans of the Fuchs Titan Race engine oils out there? We expect so, as they're hugely popular in the world of race, rally and pretty much all aspects of high performance motorsports, it'd be difficult not to have come across them by now. Premium, ester based fully synthetic motor oils designed...
Hi all
Just a heads up from Opie Oils here that may be of interest to you guys...
We are currently offering 15% off ALL engine oils until midday on monday 13th - this limited time offer includes the entirety of our engine oil range, even covering motorbike, marine and garden engine oils as...
With summer within reach, it's only natural to get the washbucket out and an array of half opened, leaking and questionable detailing products. Not to mention the sponge thats seen better days and is starting to resemble swiss cheese. Perhaps it's time for an update? Well, at Opies, we stock a...
Hi
Don't get confused by an oil being made by the same people as being the same thing. For example, there are three different types of synthetic basestocks, so there can be a big difference between the basic make up of oils, even though the labels essentially say the same thing...
Hi
Thanks for that imprezaworks.
The Elf is a decent choice, but there are plenty of other 5w-40s and we're going to have an offer starting later where there will be (I think) 20% off most oils.

Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene...
The GL4/GL5 thing that seems to be getting more and more well known is based on out of date information. Back in the 1970s, when GL5 oils were first introduced, it was very quickly realised that the additives attacked yellow metals. That was no good to the oil manufacturer or user, so the...

Engine Oil Viscosity
Viscosity is the most misunderstood aspect of oil and yet it is the most important.
Viscosity is the force required to shear (break) the oil at a certain speed and temperature. Oils work because they have viscosity; the drag of a rotating part pulls oil from a low-pressure...
Hi
A 5w-40 synthetic is the best 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...
My data says 3.4L, seems like a lot to me, but there are a few Renault boxes that take about 3L.
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...
Castrol are like pretty much all oil companies, they may good stuff (Edge), mid range (Magnatec) and basic (GTX), but I wouldn't say they are rubbish. The only real issues with them are that they don't really make any proper performance oils (other than the Edge 10w-60, but that's only suitable...
I've got some WESC ones and they are pretty good, especially as they were only about a tenner off Ebay. They aren't as good as my old Sennheisers though. My brother got the Nixons and wasn't overly impressed, they're more about looking good than sound quality. I'd go for the best Sennheisers you...
