Hi No, I don't think it exists as all oils will smoke if it's not burning properly. There are smoke suppressants in 2 stroke oil, but as a 4 stroke engine shouldn't burn a huge amount, smoke reduction is not something that the manufacturers worry too much about. If there is plenty of oxygen...

Hi Sorry, looks like I haven't been receiving notifications for some reason. I would use a 5w-30 oil in the Kia. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-653-5w-30.aspx The best ones there are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Motul 300V, Mobil ESP, Castrol Edge, Shell Helix Ultra ECT, Millers XF, Fuchs GT1 and...

I've heard similar things about Rotella before. I've not seen any evidence to back it up though and it always seems to come from someone else, never direct from an oil chemist. Cheers Tim

Hi As far as I am aware, Castrol make the VW LL3 oil, but I do not think it is the same stuff. Lots of manufacturers make OEM oils, but to lower specs than their own oils. Long life oils are not a marketing trick, but they are something for 'perfect world' conditions. So if you have a BMW...

It's probably a bit thick when cold, so isn't getting around the engine quickly enough. Cheers Tim

People often like to have a dig at Castrol, but they are the big boys, along with Shell and Mobil and people always like to moan about the big companies. The thing is, they make decent oils, you don't get issues with them if they are used properly. You can say the same for a lot of oil...

Hi Mike ZDDP is one of those things that gets mentioned a lot on forums, but there is a lot of incorrect information about it. Although a lot of modern oils have low/zero ZDDP content, the ZDDP is replaced by another anti-wear additive. However that is a bit irrelevant to your car as those are...

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. The GT1 Pro C3 is a good oil and is doing a good job, so no point in messing with it. Cheers Tim

Hi Do you know what oil is currently being used in it? The Race Pro C3 is fine for the DPF, but if you are using it for short journeys all the time, you're likely to clog the DPF no matter what oil you use. You might want to try this...

Hi Without a DPF, you wouldn't need to go for this if you want a performance oil. Top end ester based oils are fine for the PD engine (by boss has had the Pro S 5w-40 in his Leon Cupra Tdi for 5 years and probably 70k with no issues at all). The special thing about the PD oils is that they...

Has yours got a DPF? Cheers Tim

In Europe, Mercedes, BMW, VW, Audi, SEAT, Skoda and General Motors all choose FUCHS products as factory fill for their prestigious cars. FUCHS engine oils meet the latest and most demanding specifications set. At the pinnacle of their synthetic oils, they offer the Fuchs Titan Race Pro range and...

The VW PD engines are really harsh on oil, but as long as the oil meets the VW 505.01 spec, it will be fine. There are non-approved oils that are fine for the PD engine, but I would tend to stick with the approved stuff. There are cheap sellers on eBay, some sell oil for less than we pay for...

Yes, quite a while ago now. The Silkolene name is still going on bike and classic oils, the rest is Fuchs. Cheers Tim

I like Fuchs as they have something for pretty much every vehicle and at a sensible price. Their oils are good quality and their service is very good. I'd generally say they are one of the best options to go for. Cheers Tim

There isn't really a best oil brand. Fuchs, Castrol, Shell, Mobil, Red Line, Motul, Millers, Gulf and Valvoline are the ones that we deal with and they all make some really good oils, but most of them make some basic ones as well. For example, Fuchs make their Titan Race Pro S oils, which are...

Hi Technically, yes the viscosity is how fast it flows, but the thicker an oil is, the slower it flows. The more volatile the oil is, the more vapours there are to cause deposits to appear around the engine, so a volatile oil can lead to more gumming up of the PCV Cheers Tim

Some oils are more volatile than others and can burn off quicker. Synthetics tend to burn off slower than mineral oils as the molecules are a more uniform size in synthetics, so stick together better. In mineral oils, the molecules have more of a range of sizes, and the smaller ones can...

Thanks for that
