Good to know So going back to the original question would you class Fuchs Titan fully synth from opie and Bearmach filters Very cheap low quality items not fit for purpose?

In my book 'very cheap parts' and 'low quality' = crap.. So YES you did imply that.

No idea... Ive never used them

That's because only parts in a LR box have your seal of approval and everything else is 'cheap crap'

Thanks for your advice though I'll remember that the Land Rover guy advised me not to use 'cheap crap' Fuchs oil when I'm pouring it into my cosworth rs500 engine

Well i wouldn't put it in my 500! Thats for sure

Think you need to find a new parts supplier. You can buy a whole OEM filter kit for less than that

Air, oil, fuel, pollen and breather filter all included

Not from one of my suppliers Micky... Just a quick RRP check through Google...

So your an expert on cosworths now too? Fuchs oils have been in my cosworth running over 500hp since the engine was built over 15k miles ago (changed every 3k miles or after each track day) and used on track with extreme temps not in some 4x4 tractor where the td6 engine is hardly a race engine now is it so I think it's safe to say I have faith that my Land Rover engine isn't going to go pop just yet due to me using inferior parts

I said... I would NOT put that in my RS500! Not that you should or should not! Simple! Your vehicle... Your choice sir

So you own a 500 then? Going on the 'genuine is the best theory' Ford motorcraft oil is the last thing you would be putting into a cosworth engine so don't be fooled into thinking oe is always the best because it isn't.

Seconds out ,round ....lost count

i know people who use it in race gtr and merc track cars titan pro i think and swear by it so for my tractor it will do more than adequately

these seem happy http://passionford.com/forum/ford-sierra-s...worth.html _____________________________________________________

Finally someone who speaks my language pour it in a Land Rover bottle and charge £15 a litre and it will be the best engine oil known to man

Sounds like good advice to me...

All in all you can say its difficult to find "THE" best oil. It depends of your driving style and usage like daily driver, race trim, short trips etc. But a good 5W-50 full synth is a good allround oil for all seasons IMO.

Thanks for that, I didn't realise this and will beable to go to bed now and sleep well tonight knowing that maybe actually after all I didn't put cheap crap in the old girl. Over and out
