Oil advice and Recommendation

[oilman]

If you would like any oil advice or a recommendation for your car please feel free to ask here and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

To help us to give the most accurate advice possible we do need some information about your car. e.g:

Make:
Model:
Year:
Engine type:
Performance modifications:
Driving style: (road / off-road / track etc)
Any other information that may be relevant: e.g. approx BHP if modified, oil temps if known
What recommendation are you looking for? Engine, Gearbox, Diff etc.

Any oil we recommend is available to buy from us (if you would like to) for delivery throughout the UK and many destinations in Europe. We offer a really extensive range of oils and lubricants from 11 major oil manufacturers at prices much lower than the high street and main dealers. We stock oils and fluids that meet pretty much all manufacturers and international specifications. Our brands include, Silkolene, Fuchs, Gulf, Castrol, Motul, Mobil, Millers Oils, Shell, Valvoline, Amsoil and Redline.

The good news is, now the Club is a member of our club discount scheme you can discounts of at least 10% across our entire range.

To redeem your 10% club discount simply use the following club discount code at the checkout.

CLASAUDI

Once the code is added at the checkout you will then receive your extra 10% club discount. However this discount code cannot be used in conjunction with other offer codes, BUT the code can be used in conjunction with any of our offers on this page HERE that do not require offer codes.

Any questions please ask here or contact us via email at sales@opieoils.co.uk

Finally, if there are any products we don't stock and you have difficulty getting hold of elsewhere, let us know and we'll see if we can stock them.

We look forward to being of help!

Cheers

Hi, I have a 1990 Coupe Quattro 20v, what engine oil would you recommend. The engine is the 7A with 143k done. Regular driving style, doing approx 20-30 miles daily.

Hi

A 10w-40 is ideal for your car.

The best ones are the Gulf Competition, Motul 300V, Redline and Millers CFS. As a cheaper alternative the Fuchs Syn MC, Shell HX7, Motul 6100 and Millers XSS/Trident are good choices.

Cheers

What would you suggest for the 1986 5 cilinder KV-engine 2.2 liter 10 valves. Has about 130 000 miles on the clock.
Compression values are all spot on; 11,5/12 bar

Hi

I'd probably use a 10w-40

I recently read a thread on the forum here about an oil which actually bonds at a molecular level to the metal parts, what do you think of this? Do you recommend this type of oil?

[oilman]

Hi

Ester based oils cling to metal surfaces, so offer the best protection from cold, as well as all round.

We often recommend them for performance engines or where someone wants the best for their car.

Cheers
