Dear Member,
My name is Simon Barnard and I own an oil distribution business in the South West.
I have been invited by the MKIV SUPRA Car Club to run an ?Oil Advice and Recommendations? service for your Club, which is a registered Member of our Clubs Oil Scheme for which this is a FREE service.
We deliver all oils by AMTRAK ?overnight? service anywhere in mainland UK.
I have not posted this topic to advertise my Company and will be publishing no prices here on the General Forum. Prices can be obtained by email.

I?m here to answer questions, give advice and recommendations to the Members of this Club. I accept that everyone knows everything there is to know about oil, and the best oils to use in their cars, so it may fall on deaf ears, but most Clubs find my services and prices a benefit to their Members.
Hopefully I can at least expose some of the myths and give sound "technical" advice.
I would like to point out that, I sell Castrol, Mobil, Silkolene, Fuchs and Total Oils and have no particular loyalty to one brand (Customers buy what they are comfortable with) however, I normally recommend oils based on the following criteria:
1) Technical Specifications
2) Quality compared to others of the same performance
3) Price comparisons (VFM)
Naturally, I have my favourites, but this is based on their quality and performance.
Many of the oils I sell are not available in the shops but are specialist oils only available through Authorised Distributors like myself (e.g. I don't sell Magnatec but do supply Castrol Performance products not available in the shops).
On a public forum there are drawbacks, especially if the product is made by a supplier of mine so I may "duck" some questions and reply to you personally by PM.
My opinions are frank but based on facts so I'll apologise in advance if I upset anyone. I will ALWAYS give you the "best advice", but you don't have to take it.
I look forward to being of service to MKIV SUPRA Car Club Members and Forum users.
