Thats right, at 100degc they are all the same viscosity. Cheers Guy.

Yep the Pro S 5w-40 would make a fine choice. Cheers Guy.

The best performance oils are the likes of Motul, Silkolene, Amsoil and Fuchs. Cheers Guy.

We currently have an offer on, this is a good price. If you want a group buy on the forum, let me know and I will see if I can start one. Cheers Guy.

A quality 5w-40 is what we recommend. If the car is modded or you are tracking it then a race 5w-40 Cheers Simon

Thanks, I think it's called good ole fashioned service, we specialize in it :) Cheers Simon

It should be fine for road use Cheers Simon

Couple of things you can try. The noise from cold is poor circulation, try using a 5w-40 fully synthetic as it will get round the engine quicker on start up. The drop in pressure is the oil dropping out of grade and thinning if you like, again try a 5w-40 full synthetic as they are much...

10w-40 semi synthetic, or as the top quality option a 5w-40 full synthetic. Change a semi ever 5k or so and the fully up to 10k or so. Cheers Guy.

5w-40 full synthetic for both of them. Brand wise, Silkolene and Motul are tops. Cheers Guy.

Well if we are talking about a UK climate, many new cars now use 0w or 5w but often you will see in a handbook a minimum spec oil to be sued, wich could be a 15w, a lot of people assume that this is the grade to be used, its not, its just the most basic grade that can be used. Hope this...

What’s written on your oil bottle and what does it mean. This post may seem like going back to basics but I am constantly surprised by the amount of people who do not know or understand what is written on a bottle of oil and therefore no idea of what they are buying/using. To be blunt...

I thought this would be of interest as It's probably the question I get asked the most. Shame the answer isn't simple though! The basic benefits are as follows: Extended oil drain periods Better wear protection and therefore extended engine life Most synthetics give better MPG They...

If you wish to collect oil, filters, plugs etc at Japshow Santa Pod on the 24th or 25th June don't forget to order online through the Members Section of our website here: http://www.opieoils.co.uk/Members.aspx We will have a limited amount of stock for the weekend but to avoid...

Hi, For the engine we recomend a good quality 5w-40 full synthetic all year round use, the semi synthetic is ok but really a cost option. For the gearbox, a good 75w-90, again synthetic being the top option. You will need 4.8ltr for the engine and I do not have the gearbox capacity...

ROTORSTOCK III pre orders through our website will close at 6pm tonight. Look forward to seeing you there Sunday and Monday. Cheers Simon

Ok, I'll check this later, what was the discs reference? I will leave this up a week to gauge interest after which I will post prices. If I can get more than 10 interested I would be looking for a 15-20% discount for all interested parties. Cheers Simon

I am just canvassing interest on the possibility of putting together a "group buy" on Brembo Sport replacement discs and pads. If I can get enough interest together then I will be able to get a bulk discount. I will need at least 10 orders to kick this off but the larger the interest, the...

A short lesson on Multigrades: If you see an expression such as 10W-40, the oil is a multigrade. This simply means that the oil falls into 2 viscosity grades, in this case 10W & 40. This is made possible by the inclusion of a polymer, a component which slows down the rate of thinning as...

I'm not sure if this is a request for a recommendation but my concern is the use of an sae 60 when you seem to be a track addict. Low drag and maximum power at the wheels being the objective, an sae 60 is the wrong choice. I certainly would not go higher than a 10w-50 or 15w-50 but the best...

10w-40 or 5w-40 rather than 15w-40 for better cold start and lower wear when cold. Cheers Simon

Probably a bit overkill for a road car but it is a good oil. The Motul 8100 5w-40 would be more suited for road use and is a fully synthetic. Also consider Fuchs Titan Supersyn SL 5w-40 Take a look in the members section of our website for the best prices Cheers Simon Filters, we...

Use a 5w-40 synthetic in the engine and I would upgrade the gearbox oil to a 75w-90 synthetic as you are running 200bhp. Silkolene Pro S 5w-40 Silkolene Syn 5 75w-90 Cheers Simon

For the Clio we would suggest either a 10w-40 semi synthetic or a 5w-40 full synthetic. The 15w-40 is a basic mineral oil and is the minimum spec oil to be used. Cheers Simon.

I get asked many questions about oil so I thought a thread here for all oil related questions would be a good idea and build into a FAQ or reference point for others. So, put your oil questions here but please give the following information if you would like a recommendation: Make...
