Interesting 5w30 by Fuchs

[Vincenzo_f]

This is new formulation of Fuchs Titan SuperSyn F 5w30:

Medium low HTHS (Acea A5/B5) and great viscosity index of 183.
I think this will be my next oil.
Does anyone have experience with the Fuchs products?

They are factory fill for VW/Audi. Huge oil company, just not here in North America. They also own Silkolene, a popular motorcycle oil company.

Yes we can get FUCHS oil in Canada including their ester based Zn and VII free Titan GT-1 XTL 0W-20 but it's very expense (whould be a good oil to run in you're Honda though).

Haven't seen that particular FUCHS 5w30 but it looks impressive.
Do you have a link that we can open?

Second topic for this brand today ... HOW do you pronounce the name?

Please Peter copy and paste this URL in the web browser, it works:

I can't insert it as a link directly in the forum because the special charachters [] cause any trouble. If you have problems i will upload the pdf in my private space.

It's pronounced 'Fooks', like books.

The FUCHS importer is in Montreal which is where Rouge21 and myself have gotten our XTL oil from.
There is also a dealer near me (A&A Discount Auto Parts in Hamilton) that carries some FUCHS and other German oils at great prices.
TuneCanada is also a FUCHS dealer:

Looks like they have the oil I am interested in! And not much more than retail price for M1 0w-40 either!

We used their supersyn 5w40 for a while in the shop and didnt have any problems. It used to come in 60l kegs, which actually turned into pretty cool garbage cans. I can still get them if anyone local wanted to pick one up.

Just ordered 7 liters for my Honda Civic.

Not with my accent it doesn't! But yes just like the wheels. Fuchs is generally expensive, sold to specialists workshops and trade suppilers. They are not interested in the high volume retail price war of the large chain stores.

Fuchs is the main suppler for our workshop - we use it in our bulk tanks, and all our trans fluids and gear lubes.
