The Advantages of Synthetic Oils over Mineral oils Extended oil drain periods Better wear protection and therefore extended engine life Most synthetics give better MPG They flow better when cold and are more thermally stable when hot Surface-active meaning a thin layer of oil on the...

That's odd to hear about the Fuchs, it's normally very very good. We've sold loads of it to Clio owners and I've not had any complaints that I can think of. Cheers Tim

Don't use additives with quality oils like the MTL, it can ruin the oil.

It might be worth trying a DOT5.1 in the clutch if you are using a DOT4 as they are a little thinner. Cheers Tim

I don't have the data sheet for the Elf, so I don't know. As far as I know, the Elf is a 75w-80 so there might not be much difference. The Redline MTL is a 70w-80 though, so that should improve things. Cheers Tim

Hi all, Around this time of year we get quite a few questions about experiencing difficult gearshifts in cold weather, so we thought you might find this useful. Using the incorrect viscosity gear oil in your car can make gear changes very difficult when the gearbox, and oil are cold. This is...

The X-Cess is 0710 approved (it's mentioned in the tech data sheet), it just looks like it's not linked to the right section on the site. If I tried to do it, I'd probably kill the website if I tried to do it and the guy who can sort that out is off for a couple of days. Cheers Tim

Definitely looking that way, everyone seems to be loving it. They reckon their car is more responsive and smoother. All the dyno tested ones are showing a power increase as well. Cheers Tim

Oh yeah, you guys get your members 10% discount off that price as well. Cheers Tim

The Supersyn is still a pretty good oil, even though it's cheap. It's not what I'd recommend for a car that sees a lot of track time, but for normal road use and some track time, it's fine. Cheers Tim

The Pro S is a step up from the X-Cess, it's a top end ester based oil so will give the best protection and at the moment it's not too much more expensive. Cheers Tim

If it's under warranty, it needs a RN0710 spec oil http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-898-rn0710-oil.aspx Otherwise, a decent 5w-40 is fine http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx Cheers Tim

Perhaps a better oil than standard stuff would help it last better?

Hi A 75w-90 is thicker than needed, so is likely to make the changes harder and the Castrol TAF-X has been discontinued. You need an MTF for the gearbox and I would go with the Redline MTL, Amsoil MTF or Fuchs Sintofluid. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-670-75w-80-75w-85-mtfs.aspx...

Any advice needed ? Ask us here, will be happy to help :-) Cheers Oilman

No idea to be honest, see if these oils meet any specs. Cheers Guy

Its kind of pronounced "Fooks" Cheers Guy

Lots of choice, any good quality 5w-40 or 0w-40 will be just fine. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx Cheers Guy

I think about 2.5ltr Cheers Guy

Glad to help
