    Sorry for the late reply lost notifications for some reason, no need for a flush and the 10w-50 ester synthetics are good for 10-12,000 miles or once a year what ever comes first for normal road and fast road use.

    Cheers,

    hi,

    looking for a full refresh on a freshly build 350/400hp s15 engine and refreshed gearbox. Car will be used as a daily and occasional track use. Am I right in thinking of going with 5w-40 and 75w-90? What oil would you recommend for the diff?

    cheers.

    Hi

    If it needs running in, this is ideal.

    https://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-115257-...ngine-oil.aspx

    Any idea how hot the oil is getting when driven hard? Does it have forged internals?

    You need a 75w-90 for the gearbox.

    https://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-673-75w-90-gear-oil.aspx

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

    Cheers

    Hi Tim,

    This will be after running in. car has forged internals. No idea as to how hot it is getting when running hard (for the time being it won't be seeing track time since winter is upon us *lol* so daily use and occasional spirited road driving would be fine) Regarding the diff 75W-140 for a nismo gt pro lsd would be correct?

    cheers

    Hi

    I'd probably see what it's like with a 5w-40, but if you find it burns a lot of oil, then a 10w-50 is a better option.

    https://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, Castrol Edge/Magnatec, Fuchs GT1 XTL/Supersyn, Shell Helix and Mobil Super 3000 are good, cheaper alternatives.

    If it's a Nismo diff, then yes, it needs a 75w-140 and the Castrol Syntrax Limited Slip, Gulf Gear LS, Red Line 75w-140 GL5, Fuchs Sintopoid LS, Motul Gear Competition and Millers CRX NT LS are good options.

    https://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-674-75w-140-gear-oils.aspx

    Cheers

    Hi,

    As its standard your BMW requires the Longlife 04 Specification, link below for you.

    https://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-686-bmw...ngine-oil.aspx

    If you choose to gain more power please let us know and we can recommend based on this.

    Regards

    Hi

    The diff needs a 75w-90 GL5 oil.

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

    The Fuchs Syn 5, Millers CRX, Red Line 75w-90 GL5, Motul Gear 300, Amsoil Severe Gear and Gulf Competition are ideal for the diff. The Fuchs Sintopoid, Castrol Syntrax Longlife, Millers TRX, Motul Motylgear, Mobil SHC and Gulf Syngear are also good choices.

    Cheers

    Tim

    Lovely cheers Tim

    Is there a clear winner in your own opinion when it comes to diff oil?

    Hi

    Not really. The Syn 5 has probably been the most popular over the years, but there's not a lot in it.

    Cheers

    Back again, same car but it's due a service soon. BMW are chucking in 0w 30 but I'm thinking something a bit higher.

    Would you recommend 5w 40 in an N54 or would you likely go 5w 30?
