I think on this occasion, VW know best, there must be a reason and it's probably engine protection.

Usually in 208 ltr barrels bud. I've got direct accounts with Mobil, Castrol, Total, Morris, Rock Oil and Motul via Witham Oil and Paints. We stock LL3 5w-30 - 208ltr 0w-30 acea C2 (for SsangYong, PSA and Ford - 208ltr 5w-40 502.00 505.01 - 208ltr Genuine VW Eco screenwash - 199ltr The rest I...

I really wanna put AeroShell Oil Diesel Ultra in a car now.

The correct oil recommendation in the UK is 5w-30 504.00 on variable service regime and 5w-40 502.00 on fixed interval on most petrol engines. Most people who are on variable should be on fixed for best engine protection. 5w-30 ll3 is only recommended for light-duty long-distance driving as a...

30 years... They're not BITOGers though, I suspect people will just gravitate towards the most recognisable brands which will track the marketing their exposed to. I may have to swing towards the 5w-40 as this is usually the only viscosity recommended in the manual for fixed interval VAGs...

I used a liquimoly engine flush in a Pug diesel once and the engine started squeaking as if a bearing was running dry. Fine after the new oil was in and wasn't doing it before I put the flush in. It's anecdotal but I've not really trusted the brand since.

Just looking for inspiration ;)

How do folks, Just trying to work out what's going to be best for our customer's engines here. VW 502.00 primarily but product rationalisation is a thing. I'm looking at M1 0w-40 or Mobil Super 3000 5w-40 (for the Mobil brand) BP Visco 5000 C 5w-40 has all the OEM specs I want but it's as...

Yeah, the British Isles is a full spectrum climate area with high humidity in winter (it gets you cold down to your bones with only 5'c to 10'c temps). Most of our A and B roads don't have curbs so it's just a grass verge once you run out of tarmac so lorries pull mud onto the road when they...

Does it smell of piss? It'll still get the grime stuck to it. For the sake of wear and optics, I'll go for the dry chain lube.

I'm not sure what the engine is "clearanced" for in terms of using the 5-40. I think you probably have to factor in the engine builders actually selecting an oil that is essentially too thin for the engine so that the engine consumes more of it, which then makes the owner top-up which refreshes...

Yeah, lithium grease is the most common service grease here in England. I've settled on... Wurth - High Performance Dry Chain Lube It's specifically designed to give ep performance without attracting grime and grit. The lads can use it on their bikes too!

We can't let too much blood get into our alcohol systems, it sends us mad.

This one hasn't been serviced in 3 years so hasn't had any lube, still working ok but this is typical, it's a 2010 car. Brake cleaner and the ilk don't make easy work of grease as a rule, they all need a fair amount of agitation to dislodge the grease/mud/grit mixture.

yeah, we get them all flopping about or jammed up with mud and road grime but the problem is the grease collecting it all. I'm talking 10-20-year-old cars here. I'm looking at the WD40 specialist dry lube or similar products and the moment just so it doesn't collect as much ****e.

How do lads. potentially the most boring topic of the day. I'm taking bonnet/hood latch lube. Whenever I see latches in our workshop they are just an accumulation of grit and grease which is only like grinding paste wearing the latches out. Tech love a good mound of lithium spray grease! I'm...

What's your preference in terms of rating, price or teir?

Fuel related I'm guessing... You boys are forced to use more cornolene than us over here. E10 is the max over here, and even that sucks the big one (lower MPG). Luckily there are some local stations that stock E0, when you fill up with it your eyes are shifting about to see if there's some...
