Hi Dan

The Inugel is ideal, it really is top end stuff. You can buy a concentrated version, but neither way makes it a cheap option. Perhaps if you needed something like 15L, the concentrate would be cheaper, but it's pretty similar on price for smaller amounts. It's ready made so it gets used at the optimum concentration.

Cheers

im not 100% sure on this, but will 5L be enough for the pulsars cooling system, iv never really took notice of how much iv put in but id guess around 5L, its always been about 2.5l of mix stuff then topped up with water,

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what I bought and it didn't fill the entire system (although I didn't drain the block etc).

That has to be an error; surely it's not recommending you put gear oil into a hydraulic circuit... unless they're also doing a deal on a new pump to replace the one you'll knacker?

I think something has been crossed-over because they keep recommending you fill the transfer box with ATF; now that will work, but it seems a little odd that you've got ATF in a gearbox and gear oil in the power steering.

Hi

I would use a 5w-40 synthetic in the engine.

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx

Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS/CFS NT, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition.

You need a 75w-90 for the gearbox, transfer box and diff*and here are the ones we have.

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-673-75w-90.aspx

If you want to go for the best, the Millers CRX 75w-90 NT, Gulf Competition, Motul Gear 300, Redline MT90 and Millers TRX are ideal for the gearbox. The Castrol Universal, Motul Motylgear and Fuchs Gear Syn are all decent alternatives. The Fuchs Syn 5, Motul Gear 300LS, Millers CRX NT LS, Gulf Competition LS and Redline GL5 are ideal for the diff.

Cheers

Tim
