Got some nice cheep oil today 20w50 for €14 in local motofactors he has six cans left and thats it
He will not be getting any more back in
Looked in halfords and theirs is €19.99 but it comes in the old style tin can with a mini on the front :wink:
Now out to give it a service and clean in the sun :mrgreen:

A wise man would buy the lot because you'll always use it.

Be carefull with cheap oil, it's cheap for a reason, remember that this is the life blood of your engine and gearbox.

I'm using a Valvoline Racing 20w50, it has all the good properties to it, other than that Motul Oil is very good but very expensive.
