    The 5w will cope fine with drifting but we do recomend the 10w-50 for this activity as the revs are bouncing of the limiter, just to give you extra protection against this really.

    Cheers

    So I should stick with 10W? Will the same stuff be fine in my bog standard S12? Many thanks.
    James
    BTW: I'm doing part of the group buy and was wondering if you could give me a price on the following:

    Silkolene Pro S 5W/40 4 tubs x 5 litres Total 20 litres
    Silkolene Syn S 75W/90 9 bottles x 1 litre Total 9 litres
    Silkolene Pro S 10W/50 4 tubs x 5 litres Total 20 litres


    Cheers again

    ADVANCE NOTICE

    Just a note to let you all know that we have Supplier increases on Silkolene PRO S and PRO R effective 1st November.

    For those of you thinking of ordering, October would be a smart move as the increase will be around £1.00 per litre.

    All orders made for October delivery will not be affected.

    Cheers

    £5 bottle is a large increase, but still makes it cheaper than the £30 for 4L that **most** oils cost.

    When do I have to order by to keep the "old" prices?
    Order by 22nd October OK ?? I'll get another North West Group buy sorted

    Anyone intrested in that GB see link in Sig.

    Your not kidding, %age wise thats huge How can the supplier justify such a massive price increase? Looks like your post in the "how are we doing" thread of 9/10 on price should now be 5/10 Kev

    It's annoying that a lot of peeps have Silkolene swilling around in their engines with the recommendation of not going back to conventional synth. I now have Silkolene in all 3 cars but if it means double changing the oil again and going back to Valvolene synth that's what I will do.



    I am now wishing I had never bothered

    Pete,

    I'm sorry to hear that and I'm not defending the increase but the new price still represents extremely good value against comparative oils, it's 30% cheaper than Redline, Royal Purple, Mobil and Castrol performance products which makes it somewhat of a bargain considering how good it is.

    The oil is good for much longer drain periods so if you do the numbers you'll see that the costs are comparative to inferior oils that need changing twice or three times as much.

    We will of course treat group buys as favorably as we can and therefore it is unlikely that you'll see the full increases on this basis as we can play with the numbers a bit more.

    I can assure you that we will always do the best we can for you all

    Cheers
    Simon

    For your 200 SX we recomend the Silkolene Pro S range. either the 10w-50 or 5w-40.

    For the Civic, he has a choice, he can go for a semi synthetic around the grade of 10w-40. Or the better option would be to go for a 5w-40 full synthetic. Again if he wants best resulsts the Silkolene Pro S 5w-40 would be top option.

    Cheers

    For the Mini I would suggest a good quality mineral oil. Around the 15w-50 grade and change it on a regular basis due to the gearbox being fed from the engine. As the oil has to deal with the loads on the gear teeth it is more prone to shearing down. The alternative is the Silkolene Pro R 15w-50, however we tend to recomend this to modified and tracked minis as the ester is great at dealing with the loads on the gears.

    Cheers

    Ok, we recomend for both gear box and diff the Silkolene Syn 5 75w-90, this a full ester synthetic, used in many competition boxes and diffs.

    E-mail me for prices.
