Lots of choice, any good quality 5w-40 synthetic is ideal. Everyone has their preference. We find the best and most popular are the ester based 5w-40 oils, but have a browse at these http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx Cheers Guy

Agreed, would be my first choice too http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-981-fuchs-titan-sintofluid-sae-75w-80-synthetic-manual-transmission-fluid.aspx Cheers Guy

Most will have detergents in so make sure you find one without if that is what is recommended. Cheers Guy

It is indeed, it is basically the Silkolene Pro S 5w-40. Bike oils can also be used in cars no problem. Cheers Guy

5W-40 synthetic, ester based if you want the best such as these ones here http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-953-ester-synthetic.aspx Cheers Guy

In that case go for an ester based synthetic, 5w-40. Good for 120-130degc for proloinged use without shearing down (thinning). Cheers Guy

Depending on oil temps, you may be very wrong! Explaining this is diffucult so there may be questions but I'll try my best to explain it in plain English! Lets look at what oil specs actually mean and particularly the higher number which is in fact the oils SAE number (the "w" number is in...

Over 120degC in the sump?

A decent ester based 5w-40 synthetic, Silkolene Pro S would be my choice, or the Motul 300v. If temps reach abover 120degc on a regular basis you will need to go thicker. Cheers Guy

Its going to depend on your oil temps, what mods are you making to get to that power? Cheers Guy

Depends on your oil temps, if they are not excessive then stick with an ester based 5w-40. Silkolene Pro S or the Motul 300v http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx Cheers Guy

Nope, a decent 5w-40 synthetic is ideal. Cheers Guy

LOL you guys crack me up ;) Cheers

If you are "modding" your car and adding BHP then consider your oil choice carefully as the stock manufacturers recommended oil will not give you the protection that your engine requires. A standard oil will not be thermally stable enough to cope with higher temperatures without "shearing"...

This is something different but well worth reading. It was written by our learned friend in Stoke and we think is of interest to any car or bike owner. Well…………! In The Beginning there was Carbon and Hydrogen. These got together in accordance with rules forged in the Big Bang (yes...

We find this one works well in the road cars http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-981-fuchs-titan-sintofluid-sae-75w-80-synthetic-manual-transmission-fluid.aspx Cheers Guy

5w-40 synthetic, Motul 8100 Xcess, Fuchs Titan supersyn but if you want the best the ester based Silkolene Pro S and the Motul 300v http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx Cheers Guy

Its hydrocracked, but a good one. It will be fine in the 172. Cheers Guy

Any advice on oil required, please feel free to ask as I can help you You will also find some useful info on my website here http://www.opieoils.co.uk/oil-and-filter-service-pack-renault.aspx All the best for 2009 Cheers Guy

Ideal, I would stick with 5w-40 for the engine though if you are doing lots of track use. Dont know much about the Mintex fluid but I am sure its fine. We tend to recommend the Motul RBF600 http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-454-motul-brake-fluids.aspx Cheers Guy

Ideal. Cheers Guy

We can recommend brake fluids and it's a bit simpler than with oils. A standard 172/182 etc uses a DOT4 brake fluid, so these are fine http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-741-castrol-response-dot-4-synthetic-brake-fluid.aspx...

Craig, 5w-40 synthetic for the engine, Fuchs, Motul and Silkolene etc http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx Gearbox, Fuchs Titan Sintfluid 75w-80 http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-981-fuchs-titan-sintofluid-sae-75w-80-synthetic-manual-transmission-fluid.aspx Cheers Guy

For the engine a good 5w-40 synthetic, such as the Fuchs Titan Supersyn 5w-40 or the Motul 8100 Xcess 5w-40 http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx For the gearbox have a look at the Fuchs Titan Gearsyn 75w-80...

The 300v is not overkill, its a great oil but very expensive. 10w-40 is also fine, as is 5w-40 the choice is yours. Cheers Guy

Pleasure, more to come. Cheers Guy
