oilman Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Hi There are a fair few I can add to that list. Engine http://www.opieoils....-653-5w-30.aspx Fuchs Pro S, Motul 300V and Red Line are the best options, followed by the Castrol Edge, Mobil ESP, Millers EE and XF, Fuchs GT1 and Shell Helix Ultra Extra. The Motul Eco-Energy, Mobil Super 3000, Shell Helix HX7 AF/AG and Fuchs XTR are good cheaper alternatives. If modified, you might need a 5w-40, but let me know the details. Oil Filters http://www.opieoils....er-2348400.aspx http://www.opieoils....lternative.aspx http://www.opieoils....oil-filter.aspx Gearbox Really, just this http://www.opieoils....4-gear-oil.aspx But, a lot of people have used 75w-80 and 75w-90 oils without issues, it depends on the driving style and climate. Diff The best option is a synthetic 75w-90, like the Silkolene Syn 5, Millers CRX NT LS, Motul Gear 300LS, Red Line 75w-90 GL5 or Gulf Competition LS. A SAE90 or 80w-90 mineral oil such as Motul 90PA, Fuchs Race Gear 90LS or Gulf Gear LS 80w-90 is a good, cheaper alternative. http://www.opieoils....-slip-diff.aspx Coolant Motul Inugel Optimal, Fuchs Fricofin Long Life and Millers Alpine Red are good options. http://www.opieoils....antifreeze.aspx Brakes/Clutch The best fluids for the brakes and clutch are the Castrol SRF, Motul RBF660 and Gulf RF1000. The Motul RBF600, Gulf RF800, Millers 300 Plus and Fuchs Pro Race are close to those, but don't have quite as high boiling points. Realistically, they are overkill for road use.The next step down (in performance terms), but still an upgrade over standard are the Gulf Racing 5.1, Motul DOT 5.1 and Castrol React Performance. Any of the other DOT4 fluids we have are fine to use as a standard choice. http://www.opieoils....utch-fluid.aspx Power Steering You need an ATF and due to the required specs I would go for either the Motul Multi ATF, Fuchs ATF4400, Gulf Multi Vehicle ATF, Castrol ATF Multi Vehicle or Millers Millermatic ATF SPIII. http://www.opieoils....c-442-atfs.aspx Cheers Tim Edited February 12, 2015 by oilman 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarmoZ Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Hi can someone report their experience with the Red Line MT gear oil. Iv'e heard many mixed reviews, and many people saying sticking with the OEM oil to be best option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrnet Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Hi can someone report their experience with the Red Line MT gear oil. Iv'e heard many mixed reviews, and many people saying sticking with the OEM oil to be best option. Zmanalex and others have always recommended original gear oil with the addition of Molyslip. Had it in my gearbox and diff for the last 3 years and all good. Sent from my Zed using Nangkang tyres front, RE040's rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarmoZ Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 yes iv'e heard this from others too, based on all the forum threads iv'e read, going with Redline seems to be a risk (mixed opinions), where as the OEM with or without Molyslip a much safer route. Heard many greats things about the 'With Molyslip' option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex HMB Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Hello all, Just to be clear, the Fuchs oil that is being recommended - is it this one? http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-60169-silkolene-pro-s-5w-30-ester-synthetic-oil-for-high-performance-engines.aspx Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon.Ninja Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) Just as a quick feedback yesterday I did engine gearbox, diff and PAS fluid change. Engine: 5w/30 Motul 8100 Gearbox: Motul Gear 300 Diff: Fuchs Silk Tran Syn5 PAS: Comma AQ3 ( can't find any PSF2 locally but recommended by comma own site) The gear shift is noticeably smoother, less effort needed. Engine running smoothly and pullling stronger. Maybe that's down to new fluid effect but result are positive. Thanks you to this list and Opie oil also, as it helped a lot during the research phrase as it is a mine field for selecting the fluid! 我從使用 Tapatalk çš„ Nexus 6 ç™¼é€ Edited August 17, 2015 by Carbon.Ninja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
