Oil Advice And Recommendations Here

[silverzx]

Yep, I would go with the 10w-50. Very well proven oil and among the best you can buy.

The reason you do not see many 5w-50 oils is because the viscosity gap is so large it has to be propped up with viscosity index improver and these are a consumable in an oil. So, they are prone to shearing down.

Great thank you.

Have just placed a £104 order, two lots of oil (one for me, one for a friend) and a K&N oil filter.

Cheers!

Hi,

Something a bit different...

I've got a 1997 Jeep Wrangler 4.0, would like to change all the fluids, filters and spark plugs.

Can you recommend and quote for:

Engine oil
Gearbox oil
Transfer box oil
Front diff
Rear diff (is factory fit LSD so I think requires an additive)
Oil filter
Air filter

And delivery to Yorkshire.

Thanks.

Hi

I would use a 5w-30 engine oil

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-653-5w-30.aspx

The best ones there are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Motul 300V, Mobil ESP, Castrol Edge, Shell Helix Ultra Extra, Millers XF, Fuchs GT1 and Red Line, but the Motul Eco-Energy, Mobil Super 3000, Shell Helix HX7 AF/AG and Fuchs XTR are good cheaper alternatives.

You need a 75w-90 for the manual gearbox.

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-673-75w-...ion-fluid.aspx

If you want to go for the best, the Millers CRX 75w-90 NT, Gulf Competition, Motul Gear 300, Red Line MT90 and Millers TRX are ideal. The Castrol Universal/Universal Plus/Syntrans Multivehicle, Motul Motylgear and Fuchs Gear Syn are all decent alternatives.

The best option for the diffs is a synthetic 75w-90, like the Silkolene Syn 5, Millers CRX NT LS, Motul Gear 300LS, Red Line 75w-90 GL5 or Gulf Competition LS. A SAE90 or 80w-90 mineral oil such as Motul 90PA, Fuchs Race Gear 90LS or Gulf Gear LS 80w-90 is a good, cheaper alternative.

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-970-limited-slip-diff.aspx

You might need some extra friction modifier and this is ideal for that.

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-6320-red...-additive.aspx

Does it have the NV247, NV242 or NV231 transfer box?

Here are the filters that we have.

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-840-filters.aspx

The engine takes 5.7L, gearbox 3.3L, front diff 1.2L and rear diff 1.9L.

You can use the code OIL15 for 15% off the oils until midnight tonight.

Cheers

How the hell did I miss this thread!?

[Jonny Wilkinson]

You must be internetionally challenged.

[Yakko]

Does it have the NV247, NV242 or NV231 transfer box?

Thanks for the reply Tim.

NV231 I think.

[oilman]

Hi

In that case, the best options are the Amsoil ATF, Red Line D4 or Fuchs ATF6000, although the others are fine as cheaper alternatives.

Have a 1992 S13, CA18DET, Stage 2.



Used for road and drift days. 10w50 going to best?

[oilman]

Hi

Yes a 10w-50 is ideal.

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-659-10w-50.aspx

The Nanodrive CFS is, on paper, the best oil available, but the Pro S, Red Line and CFS are really good oils, so all are good choices for your car.

Cheers

Tim do you have any deals in at the mo?

Cheers

Ry

[oilman]

Hi Ry

There are no offers on that at the moment, although there are some good deals (the Motul and Millers are good options instead of the Pro S) http://www.opieoils.co.uk/t-Current-Offer.aspx , but there is supposed to be a deal coming on the Pro S where there will be a litre free with each 5L can, we're just waiting for Fuchs to sort out the stock.

Cheers

[ryry92]

Ok cheers for that buddy, I won't be ordering for another 2/3 weeks yet

[damosan]

Hi, what oil would you recommend for a

1999 sr20det s14a
98k miles
Daily driven and some fast road
Standard engine with turbo back exhaust.

[oilman]

I would use a 5w-40 synthetic in that.

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx

Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS/CFS NT, Motul Sport/300V, Red Line and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Millers XF Longlife, Fuchs GT1 XTL/Supersyn, Gulf Formula G/ULE, Shell Helix and Mobil Super 3000 are good, cheaper alternatives.

Cheers

Hi Simon, is the Castrol Syntrans 75W-90 GL4 fully synthetic a good buy for my S14a gearbox and diff?
