Hi That's not too bad, but when Mahle's filter is under £6 and well proven, that's the one I'd go for. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/pv-74769-mahle-oil-filter-oc195-mazda-nissan-subaru-or-muller-fo205-as-alternative-single.aspx Mahle make some very good filters and we have seen their filters opened up and compared with others. The Mahle ones are very well made and they are very careful to ensure that their filters are at least as good as the OEM ones. Cheers Tim

Thanks for the order. I think there is often a bit too much made out of filters. As long as you are getting a filter from a good, reputable company, you won't have any issue. We've sold Purolator, UFI, Mahle, K&N and Subaru own brand ones and never had an issue with any of them. I don't know how much a Roger Clark filter is, but some of the Subaru ones are ridiculously expensive and I really don't see the benefit of them. Cheers Tim

It's definitely worth a go - let us know how you get on! Oilman

Hi all Just to let you know, the stock delay for the quarts and aerosol variants of ACF-50 has now been resolved - it is back in stock in all sizes and ready to ship! Cheers, Oilman

With summer coming to a close, autumn is just around the corner. Of course, once autumn is out of the way, we've got winter to look forward to, and we all know what the greatest danger to our vehicle over winter is...RUST! Opie Oils can help you keep the rust and corrosion at bay, thanks to our new star product, ACF-50 Anti Corrosion Formula and Corrosion Block. If you've got a car, motorbike or boat that you want to keep in pristine condition, then you may want to have a look below... ACF-50 Anti-Corrosion Formula ACF-50, Anti-Corrosion Formula, is a state of the art, anti-corrosion/lubricant compound, that has been specifically designed for the Aero Space Industry. It can be described as an ultra thin fluid film compound which must be applied on an annual basis. ACF-50 actively penetrates through the corrosion deposits to the base of the cell where it emulsifies and encapsulates the electrolyte, lifting it away from the metal surface. ACF-50 then dispels this moisture and provides an atmospheric barrier which prevents any further moisture contact, thereby keeping the cell inactive. This compound continues to actively penetrate and "creep" into the tightest of seams, lap joints, micro cracks and around rivet heads, dissipating the moisture, even salt water, in these corrosion prone areas. These unique abilities of ACF-50 remain effective for 12 months, gradually disappearing as it is chemically consumed. - Approved for use on Electronics - Non-Flamable, non-toxic - Contains NO solids - Remains "ACTIVE" for up to 12 months - Film thickness is 0.00026 - A blend of ultra-pure base stocks and speciality corrosion inhibitors and surfactants You can find further information and pricing HERE. Don't forget to use your forum discount to get an additional 10% off your order! All in all, this is a fantastic product that we are proud to stock - designed as an "all round" corrosion inhibitor that adapts to whatever task you throw at it. Available in a 13oz aerosol, 1 quart bottle (with refillable pump spray), 4 litre container and even a 20 litre drum which is perfect for the workshop. After a slightly thicker "grease" for your electrical contacts or wheel bearings on your trailer? Have a look below for the next great product from the same guys. Corrosion Block Anti-Corrosion Formula Grease It's no secret that equipment downtime, repair and replacement are expensive. It is also no secret that regular scheduled preventive maintenance is cheaper than the repair or replacement of expensive equipment. Available in a 57g tube and a 454g tub, you can view it HERE. In these days of dwindling maintenance budgets and closer scrutiny of operating costs and procedures, you can show a real saving through preventive control of corrosion. Corrosion Block can be described as a clean, clear, ultra-thin fluid which leaves a non-greasy atmospheric barrier to protect the base metal on interior surfaces. Corrosion Block leaves no gummy residue because it contains no wax, resin, tar, asphalt, silicone or telfon. Corrosion Block anti-corrosion compound is a state-of-the-art material developed for the marine industry. Corrosion Block has three superior features: 1. Superior Anti-Corrosion compound - Kills corrosion in progress - Prevents new corrosion cells from forming for 12-18 months 2. Works as an excellent penetrant 3. Performs as a light lubricant very effectively You're probably thinking "that's great, but can it isolate the corrosion byproduct from my beloved electrical circuits?" Well, yes. yes it can. As well as offering the mentioned benefits, it also has many electrical uses. Corrosion Block has the ability to remove moisture, combined with its excellent penetrating and strong dielectric properties, have brought a number of electronics 'back from the dead' with just one application. The Corrosion Block removes the moisture from the corrosion byproduct, then isolates the corrosion byproduct from the electrical circuit. Corrosion Block can be used in many different electrical and electronic applications without fear of damage. Corrosion block will not harm paint or plastic surfaces. We're sure you'll find this new range of anti-corrosion products to your liking - at Opies, we don't stock a product unless we have complete confidence in it, so it's got our seal of approval. If you fancy a look at the full range of our rust preventatives and anti-corrosion treatments, you can find them all HERE. That's about it from us for today.

Hi all VP Racing Fuels are a big deal over in the States - A household name and recognized by many as the world leader in race fuel technology, with a catalogue of nearly 70 fuel blends and a growing roster of VP-fueled champions across the entire spectrum of motorsports. As you can imagine, once their reputation began to spread internationally, we were pretty keen to get their products on the shelf at Opies. We were especially interested in their potent range of fuel additives, designed from the ground up to get the most from your engine. VP Racing Fuels was founded by Steve Burns, who initially exhibited his aptitude for R&D in the early 1970’s as a young racer in San Antonio, Texas. Steve was convinced the race fuel manufacturers of the day were falling short in their quest for optimum horsepower. To address this shortcoming, he began experimenting with exotic blends of fuel. Over time, this led to the development of their fuel enhancers and additives, or "madditives" as they are better known. Whether you are after an all-in-one diesel conditioner, octane boost for your race car or even an entire fuel system cleaner that will cover you for 5000 miles, there will be an additive that is designed to exceed your expectations. Have a look through the list below for the new products in this range, simply click on the product of interest for all details.

VP’s Fuel System Cleaner increases fuel mileage, restores performance, and virtually eliminates knocks and pings.

Cleans fuel system and removes deposits from the combustion chamber. Power Boost gives you a “seat-of-the-pants” jolt that makes driving fun again, while reducing the need for higher-octane gasoline. 16 ounces treats up to 18 gallons. 16 oz bottle - £9.85 - VP Madditive Diesel "All In One" Treatment: Get more out of your diesel engine with Diesel All-In-One Fuel Conditioner.

Hi Yes, it's fine to mix oils when topping up. Cheers Tim

Hi I'm not sure what they use now. At one point it was the Shell Helix Ultra 5w-40, but I don't know if that was all Subaru dealerships or just some of them. As far as I am aware, they don't have strict tie ups like a lot of other manufacturers. Yes, those oils are upgrades over standard oils. Cheers Tim

Hi I would use a 5w-40 and if you want the best, the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS/CFS NT, Motul Sport/300V, Red Line and Gulf Competition are ideal. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx Cheers Tim

Hi all Just a quick heads up from Opie Oils here... With Castrol updating the label design across their range of "Edge" products, we have been left with some old labelled Castrol Edge 5w-40 FST fully synthetic oil in 1 litre bottles that is in need of a home - this label change has been brought in so recently, that some retailers are still selling what we class as "old label" as current stock. However at Opies, we like to keep our stock up to date and current, so we will be selling our remaining stock of this fantastic product at the super low price of £9.77 (with 10% forum discount applied) There is only limited stock of this available, so get your orders in quick - once it's gone, it's gone! You can find it HERE. If you need a quick top up before setting off on a long drive, then this 1 litre offer is perfect for you - it's worth having the peace of mind that your oil levels are where they need to be before hitting the motorway. It's also good to know that you've got a top of the range, fully synthetic 5w-40 in there that adapts to your engines every need, even under the most severe pressures - another bonus of using Castrol Edge. Those of you familiar with this product will already know its value, for those of you that are not, below is a bit of information regarding its merits - To make you aware, this product has a slightly different formula to the new "Castrol Edge Titanium 5w-40 FST" but still meets or exceeds the following specifications: - API SN/CF - ACEA A3/B3, ACEA A3/B4, ACEA C3 - BMW Longlife-04 - GM dexos2 - MB-Approval 229.31 - MB-Approval 229.51 - Renault RN0710 / Renault RN0700 - Porsche A40 - Meets Fiat 9.355535-S2 - VW 502 00 / VW 505 00 Edge 5W-40 is a synthetic technology lubricant suitable for use in petrol and diesel engines where the manufacturer recommends API SM/CF, ACEA A3/B4, ACEA A3/B3, ACEA C3 or earlier specifications.
