Ok it's almost that time again to drop the oil, change the filter and put new plugs in, so basically want suggestions on good quality oil to put in, been using Magnatec for the past 3 years and i'm very happy with it but just wondered if anyone know's anything better for a similar price.

Cheers.

Another thumbs up for opie here, I just did my diff, gearbox and transmission with fluids supplied from opie.

If they don't have any deals on at the mo, give them a phone and ask as you'll usually get a wee discount anyway Smile

Cheers guys will have a look at what they have to offer, does anyone know how easy it is to change the coolant, does the system have to be bled afterwards or is it a straight drain and fill up?

Bump; Been looking on Opie's site and they do 4l of Magnatec for a shade under £30 and then the other equivelent 5l are nearer £50, so just wondered if it's worth paying an extra £10 for an extra 1l of oil or just stick with what I know and like and save the price of a filterHuh

IIRC you will need just over 4L, so get a 5L can, using the rest for top up should it be needed:thumbup1:
