Pabs Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 http://www.opieoils.co.uk Fantastic service, good prices, and good club offers too. They did have an offer on recently of free delivery, but not sure if it's still on..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Not that I'd use Castrol oil in the Supra either... but why do you say it's crap? Did your engine run like a bag of spanners? There's a lot of crap talked about oil IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShamelessTT Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 (edited) Well in the Clio, it just seemed to eat it......i didnt have the same problem with other oils. Could be somethings got ti*s up with it and its getting pasted the piston rings or something but it runs fine just uses a bit (no blue smoke / black smoke). Its french, what more can i say, but im trying oil first..... Its using about half a litre every 500 - 600 miles, but the usage seems to slow down once it gets half way down the dip stick. Renault say, its within operation params for the 2.0 172 to use up to 1 litre of oil every 1000 miles. That seems hideous too me!!!!!! Its well annoying that you cant walk into a local shop and get this Silkolene stuff!
