Id's stick with a 10w-40, ideally a good synthetic one.

For a Skoda Superb 1.8T with 193HP? What is the Best that can be used? Does it take only Longlife oil or can I use the usual Ester suspects in 5W-40?

2007, no more warranty and normal use but in the hot Greek summer.

Hi

What year is it? Is it under warranty? What sort of use does it get?

Would you recommend using Militec 1 with every oil change??

[oilman]

I don't recommend the use of oil additives, this article explains it

It is a 2007 model. Mixed use mostly highway. No more warranty!

[oilman]

In that case one of the ester 5w-40s will be ideal.

Browsed the topic, but could not find a very recent advice on the below:

My car
Make - Audi
Model -RS2
Year - '94
KM's - 156.00km
Engine Type - ABU
Engine Size - 2.2
Modifications -Standard
Driving style - Driven few times a month, when warm love to use the boost from 3500rpm.

Advice from Castrol (I have used Castrol in my other cars) Castrol EDGE 5W-30 but I also see a lot of Castrol EDGE Sport 10W-60 as advice.

Corrected the engine code for you .

I'm using 10W-50 on mine, not sure of the brand I forgot but it wasn't cheap.

Hi

I wouldn't use either of those in your car, a good 5w-40 is a better choice.

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx

Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS/CFS NT, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition.

That is a very good oil, but too thick. A 10w-50 is a better option.

The Nanodrive CFS is, on paper, the best oil available, but the Pro S and CFS are both really good oils, so all are good choices for your car.

Tim,

Thanks for your recommendations! Question: most oils you post as best ones are oils for motorbikes, according to the webpages of the different brands.

Is there a reason you would recommend these motorbike oils above the car oils the manufacturer recommends? For instance Fuchs recommends TITAN GT1 5W-40 for the RS2. The Fuchs Titan Race Pro S is the motorbike oil.

[oilman]

Hi

The link is to car oils. Certain ones can be used in bikes, but they are definitely car oils. Silkolene Pro 4 Plus 5w-40 is the bike equivalent of the Fuchs Pro S 5w-40.

The GT1 is fine, but the Pro S is a better oil due to the ester content.

Cheers

Tim
