  5. Hi all

    VP Racing Fuels are a big deal over in the States - A household name and recognized by many as the world leader in race fuel technology, with a catalogue of nearly 70 fuel blends and a growing roster of VP-fueled champions across the entire spectrum of motorsports.

    As you can imagine, once their reputation began to spread internationally, we were pretty keen to get their products on the shelf at Opies. We were especially interested in their potent range of fuel additives, designed from the ground up to get the most from your engine.

    madditivesfinal.jpg

    VP Racing Fuels was founded by Steve Burns, who initially exhibited his aptitude for R&D in the early 1970’s as a young racer in San Antonio, Texas. Steve was convinced the race fuel manufacturers of the day were falling short in their quest for optimum horsepower. To address this shortcoming, he began experimenting with exotic blends of fuel. Over time, this led to the development of their fuel enhancers and additives, or "madditives" as they are better known.

    Whether you are after an all-in-one diesel conditioner, octane boost for your race car or even an entire fuel system cleaner that will cover you for 5000 miles, there will be an additive that is designed to exceed your expectations. Have a look through the list below for the new products in this range, simply click on the product of interest for all details. Prices shown include your 10% forum discount code, which can usually be found in the signature.

    - VP Madditive Fuel Stabiliser with Ethanol Shield: Eliminates the problems caused by ethanol fuel while reducing heat and extending engine life. Fuel Stabilizer with Ethanol Shield protects your engine and prevents repairs. 8 ounces of Fuel Stabilizer with Ethanol Shield will protect up to 80 gallons for 3 years. 8 oz bottle - £9.85

    - VP Madditive Fuel System Cleaner: Clean your entire fuel system for up to 5000 miles. VP’s Fuel System Cleaner increases fuel mileage, restores performance, and virtually eliminates knocks and pings. The advanced formula reduces harmful emissions in all street and off-road uses. 16 ounces treats up to 20 gallons. 16 oz bottle - £10.75

    - VP Madditive Power Boost: Restore the power your engine once had. Cleans fuel system and removes deposits from the combustion chamber. Power Boost gives you a “seat-of-the-pants” jolt that makes driving fun again, while reducing the need for higher-octane gasoline. 16 ounces treats up to 18 gallons. 16 oz bottle - £9.85

    - VP Madditive Diesel "All In One" Treatment: Get more out of your diesel engine with Diesel All-In-One Fuel Conditioner. All-In-One Fuel Conditioner cleans injectors and pumps, increases cetane, and replaces lost lubrication. Increase fuel mileage and reduce smoking. Protects petroleum based and biodiesel, disperses water, and shields against gelling to -40°F. 24 ounces treats up to 240 gallons. 24 oz bottle - £17.95

    - VP Madditive Octanium Octane Concentrate: Octanium is blended for off-road racing applications and increases gasoline octane up to 8 numbers (80 points). Improve throttle response and acceleration, while eliminating knocks and pings. Octanium cleans fuel injectors and increases horsepower, but is for racing use only. Not recommended for use with catalytic converters or o2 sensors. 32 ounces treats up to 10 gallons. 1 quart bottle - £19.75

    - VP Madditive Cetanium Cetane Concentrate: Increase cetane for off-road racing diesel applications. Cetanium cleans injectors and pumps and will increase your fuel mileage while it replaces lost lubrication. 32 ounces treats up to 10 gallons. 1 quart bottle - £19.75

  12. Hi all

    Just a quick heads up from Opie Oils here...

    With Castrol updating the label design across their range of "Edge" products, we have been left with some old labelled Castrol Edge 5w-40 FST fully synthetic oil in 1 litre bottles that is in need of a home - this label change has been brought in so recently, that some retailers are still selling what we class as "old label" as current stock. However at Opies, we like to keep our stock up to date and current, so we will be selling our remaining stock of this fantastic product at the super low price of £9.77 (with 10% forum discount applied)

    castrolforum.jpg

    There is only limited stock of this available, so get your orders in quick - once it's gone, it's gone! You can find it HERE.

    If you need a quick top up before setting off on a long drive, then this 1 litre offer is perfect for you - it's worth having the peace of mind that your oil levels are where they need to be before hitting the motorway. It's also good to know that you've got a top of the range, fully synthetic 5w-40 in there that adapts to your engines every need, even under the most severe pressures - another bonus of using Castrol Edge.

    Those of you familiar with this product will already know its value, for those of you that are not, below is a bit of information regarding its merits -

    To make you aware, this product has a slightly different formula to the new "Castrol Edge Titanium 5w-40 FST" but still meets or exceeds the following specifications:

    - API SN/CF
    - ACEA A3/B3, ACEA A3/before, ACEA C3
    - BMW Longlife-04
    - GM dexos2
    - MB-Approval 229.31
    - MB-Approval 229.51
    - Renault RN0710 / Renault RN0700
    - Porsche A40
    - Meets Fiat 9.355535-S2
    - VW 502 00 / VW 505 00

    Edge 5W-40 is a synthetic technology lubricant suitable for use in petrol and diesel engines where the manufacturer recommends API SM/CF, ACEA A3/before, ACEA A3/B3, ACEA C3 or earlier specifications. It is formulated to be compatible with modern exhaust after treatment devices and 3 way catalysts and is approved by a wide range of vehicle manufaturers.

    This features what Castrol call "Fluid Strength Technology" - A dynamic system that actively strengthens the oil, and responds to the level of protection that your engine requires.

    For our full range of discounted car products, have a look HERE and keep an eye out for special offers, promotions, competitions and other Opie Oils related news HERE. Remember to use your club discount to get that additional 10% off!

  15. Hi

    In that case, I would use a good 5w-40.

    Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS/CFS NT, Motul Sport/300V, Red Line and Gulf Competition.

    Let's say modified and used on track for short durations only (2laps then cool)

    What would you recommend

    Phil

    Hi Phil

    Depends on the mods and power, but probably a 5w-40.

    Cheers

    Tim

    To get this limited time offer, just use the code: NANODRIVE at checkout and your 15% discount will be applied.
    Have a look through the links below for the full range on offer, prices shown are with the offer in place:

    Millers Oils Nanodrive CFS 5w-40 NT - 5 litres NOW £47.50

    Those of you that use this range of oils will already be aware of their quality, for those of you that don't, there are a multitude of benefits to be gained from its use. Millers Oils Nanodrive CFS is a competition fully synthetic triple ester Nanodrive oil, suitable for fast road, street, modified engines, race, rally, sprints and hill climbs.

    Developed by Millers Oils highly acclaimed team who are responsible for the highly successful NT Gear Oils that won World Motorsport Award for best new product in 2009, the Nanodrive engine oils are specifically targeted to release power through friction reduction but also maximise wear protection. The Nanodrive formulation reduces friction by the use of spherical nanoparticle structures within the oil that actively fill rough metallic surfaces making a “tribofilm”, which means an ultra smooth surface. The groundbreaking formulation reduces load friction at extreme pressures even in stop start driving conditions, meaning less component wear and increased power.

    If you're planning on doing an oil change, it might be an idea to get a filter too - we stock a huge range from brands such as K&N, Pipercross and OEM quality filters from Mahle. Just use THIS handy look up guide to find the right one for you!
