Default Silkolene Pro S, Pro R, SYN 5 & BOA changing name, Important please read

From the 1st May 2010, what was formerly known as the Fuchs Silkolene Powersport Range (which included products such as Silkolene Pro S, Silkolene Pro R, Silkolene SYN 5 and Silkolene Boa 90LS) will be renamed Fuchs Titan Race.



The Silkolene name will remain exclusively on the Motorcycle range of products.

Fuchs have said that existing users of the Fuchs Silkolene Powersport (4 wheel) products can rest assured that the exacting standards will be maintained and improved within the Titan Race range.

Fuchs have also stated.

“Titan Race is the pinnacle of performance within the Fuchs brand family and further significant product additions will be introduced. Our long established partnerships with our in-house R&D teams and world class motorsport teams and engine builders ensures the consumer receive the very latest products designed using the most advanced technologies”

The products that are affected by this change of name are as follows


Fuchs Silkolene Pro S 5w-30 will be changed to Fuchs Titan Race Pro S 5w-30
Fuchs Silkolene Pro S 5w-40 will be changed to Fuchs Titan Race Pro S 5w-40
Fuchs Silkolene Pro S 10w-50 will be changed to Fuchs Titan Race Pro S 10w-50
Fuchs Silkolene Pro R 0w-20 will be changed to Fuchs Titan Race Pro R 0w-20
Fuchs Silkolene Pro R 15w-50 will be changed to Fuchs Titan Race Pro R 15w-50
Fuchs Silkolene Silktran SYN 5 75w-90 will be changed to Fuchs Titan Race SYN 5 75w-90
Fuchs Silkolene Pro SRG75 will be changed to Fuchs Titan Race SRG75
Fuchs Silkolene BOA 90LS will be changed to Fuchs Titan Race Gear 90LS
Fuchs Silkolene Comp Gear 80w-90 will be changed to Fuchs Titan Race Comp Gear 80w-90
Fuchs Silkolene ProCool will be changed to Fuchs Titan Race ProCool
Fuchs Silkolene ProFST will be changed to Fuchs Titan Race FST
Fuchs Silkolene ProCCA Ultra will be changed to Fuchs Titan Race CCA Ultra
Fuchs Silkolene Pro Race 2000 Brake Fluid will be changed to Fuchs Titan Racing Brake Fluid

There are also two new engine oil grades that will be available in May 2010 and they are

Fuchs Titan Race Pro S 10w-60
Fuchs Titan Race Pro R 20w-50

www.opieoils.co.uk will be retailing the renamed products as and when existing stocks of the Silkolene products are depleted so there will be a changeover period.

Having been a key UK retailer of the Silkolene products over the last 5 years we are both excited and supportive of this change which ensures that these quality oils stay at the cutting edge of technology and performance.

Doug, the 5w-40 is ideal.

10w-50
5w-40
5w-30
15w-50
