Gaz, Synthetics come in all viscosities, if you are after 5w-40 I have plenty to choose from here http://www.opieoils.co.uk Cheers Guy.

I get asked many questions about oil so I thought a thread here for all oil related questions would be a good idea and build into a FAQ or reference point for others. So, put your oil questions here but please give the following information if you would like a recommendation: Make Model Year Engine size/type Any mods Type of use (road/track) Additional info (max oil temps, current oil used) What do you want a recommendation for? Engine, Gearbox etc? I hope this will help and become a useful thread Regards Guy

Should already be on here :) Cheers Guy.

At which temperature does an oil flow better? There is no temperature where oil suddenly starts to flow better. A 10W/40 for example will flow between -25C and 100C or more, but there is some difference in the rate of flow! (True viscosity at -25C is about 7000 Centistoke(cSt) units, dropping to 14 at 100C.

We have a big offer coming up in a week or two if you can wait, alternatively call me I will see what I can do. Cheers Guy :)

Its a good idea and I will get round to it soon, in the meatime just ask. Cheers Guy.

A semi will struggle with prlonged use at 120degc. VW recomend semi as the minimum spec oil to be used in the corrado, synthetic is the quality choice and always has been. Cheers Guy.

What grade? Cheers Guy.

What temp they can handle all depends on what they are made from and their viscosity. A top synthetic 5w-40 is happy running around at 120degc all day long without shearing down. Cheers Guy.

It is just something I hear quite a bit. Part 2 will be along soon. Cheers Guy.

Yes and no, you now see the carriage cost, before we said free delivery for orders over £35 but the carriage never was free, just hidden in the price of oils. Cheers Guy.

10w-40, what does it mean? We have answered thousands of oil questions in the last 4 years but the most frequently asked one is

It is worth the money, with oil you really do get what you pay for. The Pro S 10w-50 is good for 8-10,000 miles, change it befor and you are throwing away good oil, much as I like to sell it to those that change at 3-6,000 it is not needed. Cheers Guy.

Rob, From memory I cannot remember all the corrado variants. If you give me list of what variaous engines came in the corrado I can put a quick guide together for you. Cheeers Guy.

Depends on quality Semi-synthetics will not like 120degC! Cheers

We get asked many oil related questions every day and decided to put some of the most frequently asked ones to an Oil Expert called John Rowland. He has been the Chief R&D Chemist for Fuchs/Silkolene for many years and previously developed ahead of their time ester based oils for the RR Jet industry. What he doesn
