Hi

I would use a 5w-40 synthetic.

http://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 300V, Red Line and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Millers XF Longlife, Fuchs GT1 XTL/Supersyn, Gulf Formula G/ULE, Shell Helix and Mobil Super 3000 are good, cheaper alternatives.

Cheers

Tim

Hi

It should be absolutely fine, but as it's a 0w, you might find it can be a bit rattly on cold starts.

Cheers

Hi

A good 10w-40 is ideal for your engine with that kind of use.

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-657-10w-40.aspx

The best ones are the Gulf Competition, Motul 300V, Red Line and Millers CFS.

You need an MTF for the gearbox and the best proven options are the Red Line MTL, Amsoil MTF or Fuchs Sintofluid. The Millers TRX 75w-80 and Motul Motylgear are good alternatives.

RE: Oil advice & recommendations from oilman @ Opie Oils - oilman - 29-08-2014

Hi

The Mobil 0w-40 would be fine, but the Motul would be a bit thick.

Cheers

Hello @oilman and everyone else! I have a 1.9 Dt 1995 306 what oil do you recommend? Thanks in advance!

Just to clarify, it's the one that hasn't got a cat. And also it's done around 160 thousands kilometers, also plan on uping turbo pressure and fueling just a tad. Thanks!

Hi

I would use a 5w-40 synthetic as the best option.

http://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, Fuchs GT1 XTL/Supersyn, Gulf Formula G/ULE, Shell Helix 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 Syn MC, Shell Helix, Millers Trident/EE Nanodrive, Castrol Magnatec, Mobil Super 2000 or Motul 6100

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-657-10w-40.aspx

RE: Oil advice & recommendations from oilman @ Opie Oils - thecrab - 24-02-2016

Thanks

And if you don't mind recommending, what about the oil filter, Mann, bosch or others? Thanks

RE: Oil advice & recommendations from oilman @ Opie Oils - oilman - 24-02-2016

Oil filters from reputable brands are all pretty similar, you should have no issues with them at all. It's only the dirt cheap ones from motor factors and online sellers that you've never heard of are the ones that you need to be wary of.

Cheers

RE: Oil advice & recommendations from oilman @ Opie Oils - thecrab - 24-02-2016

Thank you so much! And I don't want to be tiring, but could you recommend an oil for a mitsubishi lancer 2.0 did from 2009 that's done around 90 thousand kilometres, thanks again!

RE: Oil advice & recommendations from oilman @ Opie Oils - thecrab - 15-06-2016

@oilman

Hi! No answers for my Lancer and Greg's GTI 6? Don't mean to be rude! Thanks in advance!

RE: Oil advice & recommendations from oilman @ Opie Oils - oilman - 16-06-2016

Hi

No idea why, but I don't seem to have had notifications of those questions.

You need an oil that meets the VW507.00 spec for the Lancer.

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-754-vw-50700-oil.aspx

They are all good oils, so make your decision based on any brand/price preference you have.

For Greg's GTI6, it all comes down to oil temps. Any idea how hot the oil is getting on track?

Cheers

Tim

Hi

A 10w-40 is ideal for your car.

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-657-10w-40.aspx

The best ones are the Gulf Competition, Motul 300V, Fuchs Pro R, Red Line and Millers CFS. As a cheaper alternative the Fuchs Syn MC, Gulf Tec Plus, Valvoline Durablend/Maxlife, Castrol Magnatec, Shell HX7, Motul 6100 and Millers CSS/EE/Trident are good choices.

Cheers
