    Oil - You get what you pay for!

    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. The Millers CFS...

    Cleaning and detailing with Opies

    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...

    Oil - You get what you pay for!

    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...

    182 what oil?

    172 ph2 g'box oil

    The GL4/GL5 thing that seems to be getting more and more well known is based on out of date information.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

    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...

    What gearbox oil to use and how much 1.2 8v clio??

    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...

    Engine Oil advice and advice in general.

    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...

    Engine Oil advice and advice in general.

    Unless the oil temp is getting really hot (over 130C), then a quality 5w-40, like the Pro S, will be fine for track use. Cheers ​Tim

    New in-ear headphones...

    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...

    2 litres of oil in 3k

    The manufacturer tolerances are a bit of a cop out really, a litre per 1000 miles or even worse kms is a real pain. What oil are you using? Cheers Tim
