How does one convert this price into a UK equivalent, as I'm just intrigued. roughly 131p a litre in the UK for standard gasoline/petrol

Yeah, thanks all. I ended up going for Motul Multi ATF. Only reason being on 2 different websites in uk who specialise in Japanese / Evolution car parts, that was the fluid they had listed so surely it can't be too bad .. Although I totally forgot to ask the dealer if they do it.. should have...

Thanks everyone, hope I've not spawned too much trouble for people 😂 If it says approval or meets the specs for Mitsubishi Diaqueen SP3 then in theory it should be fine, right?

Hi all, First off, I am UK based so certain brands etc. are not available here. Anyway.. Got an EVO 8 and the AYC/ACD fluid is low. The original is the Diaqueen/Diamond SP3 fluid however, i cant seem to source it. On the Cap it says ATF SP-III, but there is so many fluids out there, and I am...

Therefore, why is section 3 labelled 'Composition/information on ingredients' while giving percentages and substance registry numbers (CAS), in the case of VW, with the mixture concentrations adding up to approx 100%. Young British Sarcasm it was.

Really? Why is it different? Genuine question. I thought since it tells you the chemicals involved that it's the same thing? It's the only thing I have to base the chemicals off, I'm just comparing it to the original VW oil SDS.

Just referring to the 2 questions in post #30. If you looked at the translated PDF I also sent in post #28, you can see the chemical composition. Also, post #19 shows the viscosity of some brands. Now, FUCHS sintofluid 75W is quite similarily composed, but the viscosity is a lot thicker it...

No offence but I'm just asking for opinions, I'm not clued up on this otherwise I wouldn't be asking? for example, my 1st question: Millers do two oils and they're both compatible: Millers EE Performance 75W - which is a synthetic base oil with Ester formulation. Millers XF Premium 75W - which...

Thanks, I understand now, I see the bit about esters and lubricating bases etc. like in the original VW oil. But I will ask this as I can't seem to find it in the document .. 1. is an ester based product better/worth the cost difference vs. Pure syn with no ester 2. is viscosity or chemical...

Cheers MolaKule. Therefore, this oil must be a group V and is not pure synthetic? Please check this file for the chemical mixtures, it is translated from Polish. Do you think it is best advised to use a synthetic oil with Ester formulation as a replacement, or will just fully synthetic be ok...

Just wondering how can you tell it's a ZDDP, I thought that would contain ZINC but it doesn't say it in the name anywhere ..

^ Anyone??? Reason being, the Fuchs has the same additives / chemicals as the original oil, but is thicker. The miller oils and others are thinner but have different chemical mixtures...

"Phosphoric acid esters - ami salt - new" ECHA: 01-2119493620-38 Does this mean it has esters in the original oil?

So, my question here is, do I get a gear oil that is fully synthetic so Group III probably, or one with Ester technology, Group V. For example, Millers have 2 oils that meet my spec. 1. Millers EE Performance 75W - 6.3cSt at 100c - which is a synthetic base oil with Ester formulation...

Soo, fuchs is 40.8 at 100c & 6.7 at 40c. Fuchs specs. So better than what I used but not the best. wolf Ecotech is Europe based but not UK .. otherwise would be great.

Oh sorry, I've corrected it! - I'm at work so not focussing properly lol, wrong way yep. Redline MT-LV is close at 30.6 & 6.5, but expensive in uk. Anything should be better and feel better than the oil I used right? Which is 50 & 8.22.

Thanks both.. Is a group V better than a group 3 or 4? I'm unsure what group the original G052527 oil is. Anyway, the original specs are: 27.6 cSt at 40c 6.1 cSt at 100c These seem really low and hard to match in basically any of the aftermarket oils I've looked at?

What do people think about synthetic oils with ester in vs pure synthetic?

Thank you, I will look into it. I have found this original document - most up to date (2023) but it is in polish. https://www.vw-group.pl/data/MSDS/G__052527.pdf

So ravenol is better for additives than Fuchs? I am unsure how to make sense of additives - I do not understand the differences. Do I focus on viscosity or additives .. currently my gearbox is hard to change gears with even when warm, but no grinding or anything. Also.. the oil seems to be the...
