Club update from oilman @ Opie Oils

Can I make a suggestion? Might be a good idea to post a list of oils you'd suggest for the various different 306 engines, maybe with suggestions for track use, high milers, hard tuned engines, that kind of thing. Saves us all messaging you for recommendations

Hi

There is a simple answer to that, for standard/standard ish cars

A 5w-40 synthetic is the best option.

Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS NT/CFS, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Millers XFS, Shell Helix, Fuchs Supersyn and Mobil Super 3000 are good, cheaper alternatives.

As a budget choice, a 10w-40 will be fine and I would either go for the Fuchs Syn MC, Shell Helix, Millers XSS/Trident or Motul 6100

Give me a shout if you have a modified or track car though.
