slimjim Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Looking to do an oil change... ZManAlex will hook me up but delivery price is pretty steep (not his fault, obviously) so I am looking into buying something locally, as I am skint for cash at the mo. I was pricing up the Titan Race Pro S and it is just over £50 (5L), but the shop said they do Gulf Competition which is "the same" and loads cheaper, £32(5L). Which makes me think it is either a bargain, or a load of bollox. Anyone know anything about Gulf Competition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 All that I know is it's currently sat inside my engine and clutch!! It's only been in there two weeks, but put the Gulf Competition in as recommended. I got mine from Opie, spend over a certain value and get free delivery. So if there are any other spare fluids you may require order them at once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 The Gulf was recommended on here, and so far so good. It's been used in track, so if it's good for track it's good for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 always used Pro S. Great stuff, no issues. Keeping with tried and tested long term for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmJak Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Using the Titan in the Z, but put Gulf in the Honda Accord. Not quite the same car, but it's performing very well and no issues. If Opie recommend it then it's worthwhile, I trust their advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT4 Zed Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Used from Motul competion 300v to Silkolene pro S/R (AKA Fuchs titan) and been using Gulf competition since late last year and it has stood up favourably to the other two which are more expensive and at oil changes at 6k it makes a huge saving. It was recommended by oilman himself and so far he has been spot on on evry recommendation for my application. Be cause it currently priced competitively does not detract from its quality, race proven pedigree, fully synthetic ester oil and will continue to use it if the pricing remains competitive. Got it in my engine and diff. Gearbox is Redline which suits the zed gearbox to a tee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
