    Default Fuchs oils

    I was down at the local Mechanic who i found is a top bloke, we had a quick geezer at the exhaust up on the hoist and found the Cat is gone, and thus the rest of the exhaust too but thats okay. thats life

    BUT they stock Fuchs oil, now I seem to remember hearing Fuchs' oil is quite good and i want to support his business of course because a good mechanic is hard to find these days. Has anyone heard about or used Fuchs' oils?

    My father stocks it in his shop. I'll find out what he knows about it. I wonder if it is related to the Fuchs mob who makes the Porsche wheels?

    I think a mate of mine bought a 2002 off a german retiree who sworn on the stuff, and his 2002 was still running strong at 420 000 km (albeit noisily)! seem to remember some mention of molydenum disulphide additive as well.

    moly is such a great compound, i have the engine acoustic matting off and its still more quiet then it used to be with it on!!

    and when i had my oil pan off, the block looked like it had just came from the foundry all shiny and new, i was amazed.
