Hello all, As a follow on from our last post on questions and answers from John Rowland we now have part 2 for those that crave more

Good question, I have a 150bhp PD unit and decided to do some digging. Would you believe that most VW505.01 oils are infact mineral based. Their secret lies in the viscosity index improvers and the anti wear additives wich are very high spec to cope with the pressure the pd unit puts on the oil, the oil needs to stay in grade. A regular 5w-40 synthetic wont have such high quality polymors and additives thus dont meet the spec and may not be upto the job. The 506.01 is the spec for PD on longlife service, these have the same tough additives and polymors plus a synthetic based stock so they can go the distance of longlife. Cheers Guy.

They are pretty similar at 100degc. Cheers Guy.

But not from us this time! 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

No they dont have to say its reclaimed. However remember the specs are there to be passed and thats not that hard... just like cheap tyres pass all the same tests as expensive quality ones. Cheers Guy.

No wont have done any damage, my comments on the post above referred to the incredibly cheap price of that 15w-40, at that prrice it is probably reclaimed oil. Cheers Guy.

It will work in the 306, but to be honest that is about as far as that oil goes. Dont expect it to look after anything. Cheers Guy.

All oils are comprised of basestocks and additives. Basestocks make up the majority of the finished product and represent between 75-95%. Not all basestocks are derived from petroleum, in fact the better quality ones are synthetics made in laboratories by chemists specifically designed for the application for which they are intended. Basestocks are classified in 5 Groups as follows: Group I These are derived from petroleum and are the least refined. These are used in a small amount of automotive oils where the applications are not demanding. Group II These are derived from petroleum and are mainly used in mineral automotive oils. Their performance is acceptable with regards to wear, thermal stability and oxidation stability but not so good at lower temperatures. Group III These are derived from petroleum but are the most refined of the mineral oil basestocks. They are not chemically engineered like synthetics but offer the highest level of performance of all the petroleum basestocks. They are also known as
