Oil advice & recommendations from oilman @ Opie Oils
#2
Hi Guy, good to see you on here, your thread on the gti6 forum was useful and well informed!

I'll start the ball rolling then as many people will be in a similar state of tune.

Peugeot 306
1.9 Turbo diesel engine
20-30psi of boost (High exhaust gas temperatures for many)
Front mount intercooler
Advanced timing

Just as a general idea. Gearbox oil wise Peugeot recommend Total, seems to work well as my GTI6 box (BE3/6) didn't like any others.

Engine oil wise I think it's 10w40 Peugeot recommend for most engines, although a lot of these diesel engines will be high milers with a lot of blow through the cylinder walls due to boost, age and wear.

The diffs for pretty much all cars here use the same oil as the gearbox, none I know of are rear wheel drive unless someone has a super secret RWD project going on somewhere...

Cheers in advance for suggestions
