Isn't Mobile1 5-w50 a god choice?

Hi

It was discontinued, so very difficult to get hold of.

What do you advice for an urs4?
Stock 230hp normal driving and every now and then high speed for autobahn (few 100km at cc 190~220)

Now the oil stays cool towed 1800KG for 300km and then it was a bit above the 130°

[oilman]

Do you tow that kind of weight very often?

Cheers

Whats your opinion about Valvoline VR1 Racing oils, especially about 5w-50 and 10w-60? Good for 700hp 5cyl, moderate driving, sometimes on track.

[oilman]

Hi

They are decent oils, but with 700bhp, I'd probably go for an ester based oil instead in a 5w-50, 10w-50 or 15w-50.

Not really.
Oh and i don't know what's in now i bought it from the previous owner but totally forgot whats in.....

Hi

If you're not towing often and the oil is likely to stay under 130C, I'd go for a 5w-40

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, Red Line and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Millers XF Longlife, Fuchs GT1 XTL/Supersyn, Gulf Formula G, Shell Helix and Mobil Super 3000 are good, cheaper alternatives.

If you are likely to tow again, go for a 10w-50

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-659-10w-50.aspx

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.

Fuchs Titan race

Whats the difference between the Fuchs Pro-s and Pro-R oils? Looking at the Pro-R 15W-50 for my 450bhp 20Vt.
Cheers

[oilman]

The difference is the viscosity grades they come in. Pro S is available in 5w-30, 5w-40, 10w-50 and 10w-60, Pro R is in 0w-20, 15w-50 and 20w-50. Unless yours is track only, I would go for the 10w-50 Pro S to get better cold start protection.

Hi Oilman

Thanks for the advice but my manual says i should only use oil with
vw 500 00 / 500 01 specifications. Those your advised don't have that specification.
I think it doesn't really matter witch oil as long it has the good specifications?

This one has the right specifications for example
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-69400-fu...ngine-oil.aspx

Any thoughts on that?

[oilman]

Hi

500.00 and 500.01 spec oils are very outdated now, the ones I mentioned may not have those specs listed but unofficially far exceed them. Using an oil that meets 500.00/500.01 is a basic option for it.

Cheers

Driving style: road use
The bigest problem for me is to find original oil's,tryed motul but no luck.The original's i found are:Valvoline,Castrol,Liqui moly-but with limited gradations.What u suggest me?

[oilman]

Hi

Sorry for the delay, I'm trying to get a shipping price sorted out for you, but it's taking longer than expected.

Valvoline and Castrol make good oils, depending on what you can get hold of, I'd try to use a 5w-50 or 10w-50 from them. I don't deal with Liqui Moly, so can't comment on their oils.

Cheers
