Can you do oil for the 2.2 supercharger?

Remind me, what kind of charger is it?

If it is the roots/eaton style charger then we tend to recommend the Fuchs Titan Race Pro S 5w-40.

Looks like most gear oils should be a good substitute too.

If anyone wants to take advantage of this but doesn't know what to order;

Fuchs titan supersyn 5W-40 - http://www.opieoils....engine-oil.aspx

I've got my service on the 15th, was the above suitible for an NA or turbo? I've got an NA.

Also, what brake fluid is recommended for road use? Doing a European Road trip in September, so bit worried about boiling my brake fluid around the Alps.

It's suitable for both. I've used it in my NA for the last three services. I've also performed some oil analysis which has shown minimal wear metal content so I have no problem recommending it to others.

Any DOT 5.1 fluid will do. There are also a few DOT 4 race fluids that people recommend - generally with brake fluid it's more important to have fresh fluid than high quality because heat will break down any fluid regardless of quality. Check the colour (should be clear not brown or black) and replace regularly - every two years or less.

Thanks for the reply, I ordered the oil & brake fluid yesterday.

I think it ended about 2 days ago, you can still get a discount here: http://www.vx220.org...-forum-members/

Unfortunately, that is correct, it's ended, but there are other offers on the site now and you can also use them with the discount code via the link that Fezzasus gave you. Cheers Tim

Dammit! Snooze you lose!

[oilman]

Yes and no, depends on what you want. Lots of things work out cheaper now as there are better offers on individual products, but not 15% off everything. Cheers Tim

[sguesty1987]

Yep you'll still get my business I think Cheers
