    BP ultimate is good fuel and defo makes a difference, however Shell fuels are even better, worth a try.

    Ultimate Fuel. An Experiment

    Agreed, K and N filters are not good expensive in the long run and worse at filtering the air than a good quality standard spec filter My brother had one before that actually made his car run worse and increased his fuel consumption.

    Oil grade?

Peugeot citroen...

    Oil grade?

    Extended oil change intervals are there to save the customer money and reduce the amount of waste oil being produced, also when using used oil analysis on modern synthetic oil it's found to be absolutely pointless to change it every 5000 miles. In some UOA's they have shown the wear to decrease...

    It's made out of paraffin stick it in the fuel tank i certainly wouldn't use it on a baby, petroleum products are not good for humans if charlesy thinks the oil companies earn money out of expensive lube oils then he should look into what in his soap, shampoo, suncream, moisturising cream(ok...

    time for a service.......which oil

    Absolutely it will be spot on it's approved to vw 505.01 which is the fixed interval/arduous use pump dusse engine oil so it will have a lot of ep additives in the oil to protect the pump and the camshaft in these engines will be more than good enough

    A PAO synthetic 20w-50 will have a pour point of about-45 degrees C A Mineral 20w-50 will not at 40 degrees they will both be a 20w but a synthetic will thicken much less than a mineral oil when temps are around 0 degrees

    Oil for 4,6 V8..

    Although the engines history can be traced back to the fifties the internals are not the same and have been manufactured with modern tools to closer tolerances to what they were back then. An oils pour point is about 10 to 15 degrees colder than the temp at which it's thin enough to pump. A...
