What is the best 5W-40 for my Honda S2000 2000 driven hard in the cold ?

 

What's the best oil for a 1.5 way Kaaz clutch type LSD for race use?

 

Here are the 5w-40s that we have

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. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Millers XFS, Fuchs GT1 XTL/Supersyn, Shell Helix and Mobil Super 3000 are good, cheaper alternatives.

Cheers

They are a bit fussy with oil, so I'd stick with their spec of 80w-90 mineral oil.

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-60144-gu...ntial-oil.aspx

We don't have the biggest choice, but the Millers one is very good. As it needs changing often (1200 mile oil change intervals if I remember correctly), you might want to go for the Gulf as a cheaper option.

Hi Tim.

Looking for reccomendations for Gearbox, engine and diff oils.

Car is 99 UK S2000.

Manual, 100k mileage and will be used mainly on track from now on.

Need a full set of fluids so will be looking for a good deal

 

Hi

I would use a 5w-40 synthetic as it will be mainly a track car.

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.

You need an MTF for the gearbox and I would go with the Redline MTL, Amsoil MTF or Fuchs Sintofluid.

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-670-75w-80-75w-85-mtfs.aspx

You need a 75w-90 LS oil for the diff and here are the ones we have.

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-673-75w-...ion-fluid.aspx

The Fuchs Syn 5, Motul Gear 300LS, Millers CRX NT LS, Gulf Competition LS and Redline GL5 are ideal for the diff.

You can use the code S2KUK for 10% off the website prices.

Cheers

Tim

 

What about the Edge Turbo Diesel?

 

It's fine to use, it's normally too expensive for what it is so I often forget about it.

Cheers

Tim

 

Surely its up to the consumer to decide about expense. It seems odd you recommended every 5W-40 except that one.
