  2. 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 why we often don't recommend using thicker gear oils than the manufacturer specifies. It is easy to think that increasing the viscosity from a 75w-80 to 75w-90 or 75w-90 to 75w-140 isn't going to affect the cold properties of the oil, but it does. Below are some figures showing the viscosity of a selectio

  4. Yes, 5w-30 is the closest to 10w-30 that is easily available, but you might find that a 30 is too thin and it could burn it off. Cheers Tim
  5. Hi I would use a 5w-40 synthetic and you will find those through the link below. />http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS NT/CFS, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Millers XFS, Shell Helix, Fuchs Supersyn 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 XTR, Shell Helix, Millers XSS or Motul 6100 />http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-657-10w-40.aspx Cheers Tim

    Hi If the engine was done in 2010 and has a full synthetic oil now, I'd say it's been run in. I'd stick with the Pro S, or go for another similar oil like the Gulf Competition, Millers CFS, Redline or Motul 300V. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40-engine-oil.aspx Cheers Tim

    All run in? What oil is in it now? Cheers Tim
  19. Hi Drew Sorry, looking at the time I posted, I might have been half asleep and thought I was replying to EP Bredrin. The MT90 is spot on for yours, can't fault it at all, but if you want Gulf, go for the non-LS version. Cheers Tim
  20. Hi Drew The MT90 is probably going to be 100% fine, but the LSD may make it break down fairly quickly, so will need replacing quite often. Out of the Gulf and TRX, I'd go for the Gulf. Cheers Tim
  21. Hi You need a 75w-90 for the gearbox and here are the ones we have. http://www.opieoils....673-75w-90.aspx If you want to go for the best, the Millers CRX 75w-90 NT, Motul Gear 300, Gulf Competition and Millers TRX are ideal for the gearbox. The Castrol Syntrax, Motul Motylgear and Fuchs Gear Syn are all decent alternatives. Cheers Tim
  22. If the car is standard, go with the standard heat range.
