The 5w will cope fine with drifting but we do recomend the 10w-50 for this activity as the revs are bouncing of the limiter, just to give you extra protection against this really.Originally Posted by twinturboch

Silkolene Syn S 75W/90 9 bottles x 1 litre Total 9 litres
Silkolene Pro S 10W/50 4 tubs x 5 litres Total 20 litres

ADVANCE NOTICE
Just a note to let you all know that we have Supplier increases on Silkolene PRO S and PRO R effective 1st November.
For those of you thinking of ordering, October would be a smart move as the increase will be around £1.00 per litre.
All orders made for October delivery will not be affected.
Cheers

Could you PM me a price list please oilman.
Thanks
£5 bottle is a large increase, but still makes it cheaper than the £30 for 4L that **most** oils cost.Originally Posted by oilman
When do I have to order by to keep the "old" prices?
Order by 22nd October OK ?? I'll get another North West Group buy sorted
Anyone intrested in that GB see link in Sig.
Your not kidding, %age wise thats huge How can the supplier justify such a massive price increase? Looks like your post in the "how are we doing" thread of 9/10 on price should now be 5/10 KevOriginally Posted by SM
It's annoying that a lot of peeps have Silkolene swilling around in their engines with the recommendation of not going back to conventional synth. I now have Silkolene in all 3 cars but if it means double changing the oil again and going back to Valvolene synth that's what I will do.
I am now wishing I had never bothered

Pete,
I'm sorry to hear that and I'm not defending the increase but the new price still represents extremely good value against comparative oils, it's 30% cheaper than Redline, Royal Purple, Mobil and Castrol performance products which makes it somewhat of a bargain considering how good it is.
The oil is good for much longer drain periods so if you do the numbers you'll see that the costs are comparative to inferior oils that need changing twice or three times as much.
We will of course treat group buys as favorably as we can and therefore it is unlikely that you'll see the full increases on this basis as we can play with the numbers a bit more.
I can assure you that we will always do the best we can for you all
Cheers
Simon

Hello again Simon
Oil advice for a 1992 (K) Mini Mayfair 1275 4 Speed Please
Standard, will be first service by me, 26,000miles only ever done, probably doesnt need it but I want to make sure
For your 200 SX we recomend the Silkolene Pro S range. either the 10w-50 or 5w-40.Originally Posted by alanjuggler
For the Civic, he has a choice, he can go for a semi synthetic around the grade of 10w-40. Or the better option would be to go for a 5w-40 full synthetic. Again if he wants best resulsts the Silkolene Pro S 5w-40 would be top option.
Cheers
Guy.

For the Mini I would suggest a good quality mineral oil. Around the 15w-50 grade and change it on a regular basis due to the gearbox being fed from the engine. As the oil has to deal with the loads on the gear teeth it is more prone to shearing down. The alternative is the Silkolene Pro R 15w-50, however we tend to recomend this to modified and tracked minis as the ester is great at dealing with the loads on the gears.Originally Posted by SM

Right, gearbox oil (yes again, cant find original recomendation) and also Diff oil.
Cars running 295 bhp at the wheels and will get used for track quite a bit next year, as well as sprited road use....
Need some gearbox oil to look after my reconed box, and also some diff oil what do you recomend!
Ok, we recomend for both gear box and diff the Silkolene Syn 5 75w-90, this a full ester synthetic, used in many competition boxes and diffs.Originally Posted by Vez
