sti-zlv Posted May 20, 2005 Posted May 20, 2005 Looking for some advice/suggestions on engine, gearbox and diff oil. Need some names and best places to source them Also what are the best plugs to buy and where to get them? Matt
fraser_drinkwater Posted May 20, 2005 Posted May 20, 2005 Motul 300v 15/50 NGKpf7b and any motuls range, if its good enough for solberg its good enough for Farquar.....ehhh Matt!!

coulty Posted May 20, 2005 Posted May 20, 2005 Hey matt Used to run Mobil 1 motorsport 15w50 before i changed to Silkolene Pro S 10W50 which makes cold starts easier but has the same protection. Check out http://www.opieoils.co.uk/ they are great value for all oils. For diffs and gearbox use the Silkolene Syn 75w90 which is the best. This is assuming this is for a classic Stuart PS NGK PFR7B's are the best...go to Pentland components and pick them up for £33 for 4
WUZ Posted May 20, 2005 Posted May 20, 2005 I agree with Coulty, Richard is the man to see. Unless your in Aberdeen in which case, I can get them for £33 for 4 and there's no need to pay for postage! Russell
Carl Davey Posted May 20, 2005 Posted May 20, 2005 I'm a bit concerned about 'oilman'. Perhaps it's just me but his cut 'n' paste sales tactics just don't wash. Whenever he's a asked a probing question he ignores it. Been on many other marque forums lately? He's on all of them doing exactly the same trick... It's just my personal feeling but i don't trust the guy. Motul from AS for me by the way and NGKPFR7B's from Rich at Pentland Components, gapped to 0.5mm!!
Oilman Posted May 27, 2005 Posted May 27, 2005 Matt, Which model is your car. Carl, Perhaps you'd like to catch up with me at Rotorstock (mon) or any other show this year on my stand just to see that I'm for real! What question have I avoided and why Motul from Alyn and not me? Is that because I recommend 5w-40 and he 15w-50 I wonder? What cut and paste are we talking about? Am I not entitled to post articles that I have written myself or others that I have permission to from the author? I feel it's unfair to judge me if you don't know me, so go on, come and meet me! Cheers Simon
Carl Davey Posted May 27, 2005 Posted May 27, 2005 PMSL, as if by magic! I would love to meet you Simon and i'm sure i'd find you very interesting to talk to. However, until then i'm not going to get into a war of words with you.
fraser_drinkwater Posted May 27, 2005 Posted May 27, 2005 300v 15/50 motul is the best all the top tuners use it
wilky Posted May 28, 2005 Posted May 28, 2005 Carl, why 0.5mm ? what boost is he running? You dont know. So you cant guess. Callum
Oilman Posted May 28, 2005 Posted May 28, 2005 I don't wish to get into a war of words with you either. I just felt that you were too quick to judge me without knowing anything about me Cheers Simon
Carl Davey Posted May 28, 2005 Posted May 28, 2005 Read it again. I didn't phrase it too well but i meant that's what i've gapped mine to.
wilky Posted May 28, 2005 Posted May 28, 2005 The gaps too narrow even on a standard car. PFR7B is a platinum plug, which offer increased efficiency because the electrodes are thinner and are designed to run a larger gap. A larger gap will reduce the chance of missfire and improve starting when cold. When under boost they also ensure a strong spark with larger gap to bridge, reducing the chances of the spark being "blown out". A wider gap will also reduce fouling because of an efficient burn. The plug gap however, will have no bearing on the power produced. Callum W
