Oil and fluids advice?
 

I am shopping for new engine and gearbox oil and need power steering fluid, clutch and brake fluid and coolant......any recommendations please?

You'll need to put a little more info to get the answers you want.

1. What car do you have?
2. Budget?
3. What are you wanting road/rally/track etc?
4. Hopes and wants i.e 600bhp monster or 350bhp unbeatable A to B road car
5. Have you got your own garage, if so who and what have they recommended?

For quality used parts i'd strongly recommend mattybr@poleposition i'm sure he has all the parts you require.

Sorry, read the post wrong (Too hungover) as KB1 says. They are also on the trader section. But there is a difference for DCCD diff oil.

It's a blobeye WRX running 350bhp. It's going to be a roa car that is regularly used on track, power wise it won't be changing for some time now, I tend to use scooby clinic but I haven't called up yet. Budget wise, it costs what it costs to put in what it needs if that makes sense.... Can't afford to waste money but would spend now to save later if you know what I mean.

Thanks!

Hi

I would use a quality 5w-40 synthetic in the engine and you will find those through the link below.

Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS/CFS NT, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition.

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

If you want to go for the best, the Millers CRX 75w-90 NT, Motul Gear 300, Redline 75w-90 NS and Millers TRX are ideal for the gearbox. The Castrol Syntrax, Motul Motylgear and Fuchs Gear Syn are all decent alternatives. The Fuchs Syn 5, Motul Gear 300LS, Millers CRX NT LS and Redline GL5 are ideal for the diff.
