We dont sell additives, mainly becuase they are generally not needed and many can do more harm then good. You could try using a thicker oil SAE50 so 10w-50 or 15w-50 this should slow down the usage. Cheers Guy
-
Interesitng, I wonder why. The only real difference between a PD oil and a normal one is the viscosity inprovers and antiwear... A decent quality synthetic will have all these too. As in the Silkolene Pro S 5w-40 is not PD approved however both Silkolene and the addtive comapany say its ideal. Cheers Guy

I'm sure that these pages will be useful to Corrado owners. We have listed VW oils by their specs to make selection easier. Check your handbook and then look up what we have that will suit here. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-689-vw.aspx All the best for 2009 Cheers Guy

Hi all, The idea of this post is to keep you all up to date with what has been going on at www.opieoils.co.uk Firstly, we have changed our filter supplier. As some of you will know we previously stocked Purolator Filters and we have now switched over to UFI filters; oil filters, fuel, cabin and air filters. UFI Filters are made in Italy and their relationships with many of the world

10w-40 semi or better 5w-40 synthetic for those frosty mornings. Magnatec is a semi synthetic and not really worht the extra pennies, however for that kind of money you can get a decent 5w-40 synthetic such as the Motul 8100 Xcess 5w-40 or the Fuchs Titan Supersyn 5w-40 http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx Cheers Guy

Synthetics stack up better then the semi synthetics, in all areas. No reason why a Corrado would not like one, unless the wrong one is used or the engine is in a real bad way. Cheers Guy
-
If you are thinking of the screaming engine on the magnat adds then its the ester content they are on about. The magnatec is not all that gread when it comes to it in the real world, you need a lot of ester content in the oil for it to work and the magnatec just does not have enough... So its there for kind of marketing really. The real deal are full on ester based synthetics such as the Silkolene Pro S, Motul 300v, Redline and Millers. Cheers Guy
-
Depends what yopu mean by old? As long as the synthetic is of the correct viscosity then no reason not to use one. We have many customers running vintage and classic engine of ester based 15w-50 oils. Cheers Guy

At this time of year, it

Its not one I stock, the quality is fine however the SAE60 is too thick for your engine. Cheers Guy
