What happened to the Opie oils advice thread...

[rufusgti]

I just searched for the advice thread where the Opie oils guy would give really good advice on which oils to choose based on car age/mileage/location etc.
Seems to have been removed.
What happened?

Think a thread a bit ago said he didn't renew as an advertiser so thread pulled.

Has the Opie Oil sticky gone? (Or am I just missing it) they always have good advice, and this is no doubt a question they get frequently asked.

It has been deleted, not sure why??

Probably didn't pay the rent.

Yep - was confirmed by a Pistonhead Mod IIRC. No longer a site sponsor!

Cash for questions?

I thought that was immoral?

The Redex thread was more entertaining

It is a shame it has gone, but when the last new owners took over they wanted so much money it just was not remotely viable.

A pity, as we would have liked to contiue supporting PistonHeads But you can still contact us and we still offer PistonHeads discount.

Cheers,

The new owners seem to know the cost of everything and the value of nothing.

Why was the thread not closed and archived?

Seems a bit spiteful to erase all that info.

As Guy mentioned above, their advertising agreement ended. I believe the thread was archived should it ever be reinstated again.
