Richie and Drifter,
Same oil for the both, the Silkolene Pro S 10w-50 is ideal for both your cars and the use they are getting. This is a true PAO/Ester synthetic.
Tech specs here http://www.opieoils.co.uk/lubricants.htm
E-mail me for a price list.
Cheers

Thanks GuyOriginally Posted by oilman
Car is currently using Vauxhall semi synthetic 10w-40, presume this won't clash with the good stuff. Also will this help to quieten the dreaded vvt rattles, mine is quite loud

Yep it will quieten down the rattles. This oil is in a different league compared the Vauxhall semi you have at the moment, you will notice a difference with it.Originally Posted by drifter

For your car I would personally go for the Silkolene Pro S 10w-50 for protection when hot. The Mobil 1 your are using is of good quality a true PAO synthetic, maybe a little thin though, how do you find it? If you are happy with it then stick with it.

what is your opinion on Valvolene racing fully synth oil?? I can get it at a very good price you see but would like to confirm that it's as good as I think it is![]()
It is ok, cheap and cheerful is the best way to describe it, there is a reason it is cheapOriginally Posted by sideways danny

As far as we can tell it is a hydrocracked mineral oil and not a true synthetic, if it was a true synthetic ie no petrolium base stock it would not be cheap.

Hi guys
Wondered if you'd had experience of people requesting oil for Civic Type R's - honda recommend Magnatec which I've always considered to be a bit
Any thoughts?
Guy, Do you recommend flushing the old oil out of a car with the nice expensive synthetic, or can you flush with cheaper mineral oil, then fill with synth?
Simon/Guy
Here is the spec of the oil i use
Apparent viscosity, (mPa.s)
5600 at -30 °C
3100 at -25 °C
Kinematic viscosity (mm²/s)
15.2 at 100 °C
97.3 at 40 °C
Flash point (COC) 236°C
Pour point -56°C
Density at 15 °C 0.85kg/l
Sulphated ash 1.1 %w
Total base number 8.8 mgKOH/g
NOACK volatility 6.4 %wt
Pumpability at -35 °C 15000 mPa.s
HTHS at 150 °C 4.1 mPa.s
Viscosity index 165
How does this compare to Silkolene?how do you rate the above specs?
