Hi Jamie
I would use a 5w-40 synthetic and you will find those through the link below.
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx
Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Millers XFS, Fuchs Supersyn, Shell Helix and Mobil Super 3000 are good, cheaper alternatives.
Cheers
Tim

Bit of an odd one, but i have a Land rover series 3 which is fitted with a 200Tdi Discovery engine, what oils would you recomend for the Enigne and then also the gearbox and diffs as they will be under more strain due to the extra power.
It only regularly does short road runs and then off road use, i would say i dono more than 30 miles a week.
thanks
Aaron
Thanks for your help Tim, will order up Payday
Hi Aaron
A 5w-40 or 10w-40 will be fine for the engine.
Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Millers XFS, Shell Helix, Fuchs Supersyn and Mobil Super 3000 are good, cheaper alternatives.
As a budget choice, a 10w-40 will be fine and I would either go for the Fuchs XTR and SynDiesel, Shell Helix, Millers XSS or Motul 6100
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-657-10w-40.aspx
You need an MTF for the gearbox and I would go with the Redline MTL, Amsoil MTF or Fuchs Sintofluid. The Millers EP 75w-80 is a good cheaper alternative
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-670-75w-80-75w-85-mtfs.aspx
The diffs need a 75w-90, Fuchs Syn 5 or Sintopoid, Redline GL5, Motul Gear 300, Castrol Syntrax Longlife, Millers TRX or CRX are ideal.

hi chap, not cutting oil for the machining itself - it's for the bearings / slideways of the table - it's a mill with oil points that need inserts of a little oil when the machine is used.
as mentioned, something non detergent, iso68 seems to be the best I can come up with.
(though if you can recommend some good aluminium and steel machining oils as well, that'd be great)
white '94 s13 200sx scrapped - mapped to 1.45bar. OS giken box, garrett GT2876R, 950cc injectors, ORC twin plate, nistune. 349bhp/325lbft @ 1.3bar CA18DET
white '96 s13 180sx - type g with more kouki bits - RB25DET, GTR steel twin turbo conversion, RB26 crank & rods. 2.6L VVT twin turbo, SR20 OSG box, OSG STR twin plate clutch, Z32 ECU w/ nistune.
current status: 180 a bit broken but to be repaired.
Just like to say thank you for the fantastic service once again.
Cheers for the air freshener
What would you recommend for my cars? Drift spec s14 main use if for drift days and my daily stagea (rb25det engine) that has fmic, decat, induction fpr etc? The daily gets used as a commuter but also gets driven hard when i can afford the fuel lol
Hi
In the S14 I'd go for a 10w-50 and use a 5w-40 in the Stagea

Had nothing but good feedback. Some of our sponsored drivers have been using it, including some 24hr racing. Good stuff and a bargain.

Some guy! cheers mate
For the past 8 years only ever put Mobil 1 Motorsport 15W-50 in my S14 (stage 1) which is my daily driver but used for the very occasional track day. No complaints with regard to the oil for me – well except for price so its time for a change I think.
After reading through a lot of the posts on here I’m down to a choice between the following:
1, Fuchs Titan Super Syn 5W-40
2, Gulf Competition 5W-40 / 10W-40 / 15W-50
3, Fuchs Titan Pro S / R 5W-40 / 10W-50 / 15W-50
Taking advantage of your Summer Sale prices at the moment there is roughly a 30% price increase from option 1 to 2 and from option 2 to 3.
So first question – which grade is my best option. It has to stay the same all year round (about 8,000 miles)? And secondly – which of those 3 options do you believe would be the best choice?
I would go with either option 2 or 3.
The Gulf is a give away at the moment and makes it very tempting, as you are used to 15w-50 that will be fine, you could also use the 5w-40.
Or go 10w-50 (great allround grade) of Silkolene or CFS.
Quality wise Option 2 and 3 are the same.
Cheers

Cheers Guy and thanks for the prompt response.
I think I'll sort of split the difference in viscosity terms and go with the Gulf 10w-40. As you state that its a match for the quality of the Fuchs Pro oils - the price does indeed make it a bit of a bargain at the moment.

Hi, been looking through the thread hoping to find a general rule when it comes to S14as - clearly there is more to oil than I know!
What type/interval would you recommend for my S14a around 280 bhp 86k 10 mile commute perhaps twice a week and a runabout (read thrash) at the weekend! Around 8k a year.
Also I'm not exactly rolling in money, so budget would also be a consideration to a certain extent, I don't mind paying for quality!
Thanks
On a budget, want a top oil then go for this http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-60122-gu...-oil-5w40.aspx
