Paul,

Sound like a plan, if we get some interest I should be able to do some good prices for you.

Cheers

The silkolene is supposed to be the dogs for pretty much any engine, old or modern, especially high performance ones like your m3!

Yep, I agree.

The Silkolene Pro R 15w-50 or the Pro S 10w-50 are the best options for an E30 M3, especially if driven with spirit.

Cheers

Simon.

COME ON GUYS! Is everyone so absolutely loaded that they pay the $tealers 300 euro a pop to put chip-pan oil in their prized possesions???

HELLO? It is the only thing stopping all those expensive engine innards doing a good impression of a T-1000.

Rant over... I just want some ace oil on the cheap.

sorry Eamo, I'm installing windows server and i'm very very bored...

Robbie, great!

Lets bump this till the end of the week and then see what Simon can do for us... How many litres are people interested in. AFAIK the silkolene comes in 5L bottles.

I'm interested in the best stuff for a e36 316i, is there any way of turning the oil service light off without bringing it to a dealer or will they do it for free.

I think my car takes about 7.5L at each oil service, probably the same as most six's. Say two/three oil change/services a year, so like you said 20L each would be a reasonble target but not cheap, unless we buy a tanker load

If your service light is lit then give it a service or at least change the oil ASAP as you don't know when it was done last.

My car was fully serviced last week including all belts.  I was just wondering how you would do it if you perform your own oil changes.  I always change the oil/filters on my fiesta and CBR1000 so no worries doing the work just resetting the dash indicator. Sorry for the confusion.

Mark.

Ok, here's some sort of a deal excluding carriage which I'll have to work out nearer the time as it's done on weight.

Silkolene PRO S 5w-40, 10w-50 or PRO R 15w-50 all ester fully synthetic race oils.

Or normal price (excl carriage) per 5 litres is £32.49 (RRP £45!!!)

If I can get 100litres then it will be £30.50 excl carriage

If I can get 150litres then it would be £29.00 excl carriage

If I can get in excess of 150 litres then £27.50 excl carraige

To achieve the best carraige rate, it would need to be sent to a single address so it would be best to stock up!

I will also be at the Club day at Gaydon on 21st August so will be running a pre-order list for collection on the day nearer the time.

Cheers

Simon

i'm all in favour of getting whatever's best for my engine.

Will an indy mechanic have any problem if you arrive in with your own oil in preference to his?

Not had an oil change yet as one was done in Dec before i bought it but it's on the cards (down to 3 bars on the service indicator).

 

EDIT: prices just posted

Owen, you should be looking at 20L a year, so around £200stg
