Total v's Fuchs

Post by wes1001 »

I usually put Total Quartz 7000 10w/40 in my old girl but have come across this for a similar price. Has anybody used it ?, and what did you think of it ?. :cheesy:

BTW i won't be paying £23 + P and P - i can get it for £19 all in, so about the same as the Total.

I've been using that Fuchs/Silkolene XTR 10W/40 for years and I can Highly recommend it.

Total is recommended by peugeot, it's pretty good i think. but now i use Mobil 1 5W/50 which really foooookin expensive but runs real well for my pug. my pug runs 'cool' even when i pushed it to 190 km/h for a long period.

but still, total will work just fine.
