    Oil & Filter

    After trolling through various threads (which date back 10yrs +) i can't seem to decide on which oil and filter people use now? Oil filter part number and supplier would be very helpful too if poss.
    Oil is such a minefield as there are so many manufacturers out there.
    what do you use?

    Mann or oe filter and Fuchs titan race pro 5w40. I've been using Fuchs oil in my cars for over ten years now with no issues.
    Opie oils are good but not the cheapest.
    I don't think China have started to counterfeit oil (yet)

      Edit... Having just googled that for a bit of fun, I’m actually genuinely shocked how much that’s going on with all service parts for all brands.

        If they'll fake eggs, I'm sure oil will be a walk in the park!

          Well there you go, I stand corrected. I'm not suprised. Thanks Ian.
          Best get your oil from a recognised dealer then. The Fuchs oil has quite a distinctive smell. I think I would recognise a fake but then again not everyone has a nose as big as mine

            Dave are you offering to be the official smelling person for Fuchs oils. Will you travel or will everyone have to post it to you for the said test and what's the going rate for the official test.

              Yes, put a drop on a nice new £20 note and I will let you know.
