Can I use fully synthetic Mobil Super 1000 X1 in my 2.2 Petrol?

Can't get part synthetic for love nor money around here.

Cheers

But ebay is always the most expensive place for anything.  Much like some camera cables I needed, £9 from the tat site, or £2.99 direct from camera maker.

£24.99 for 20l of semi, assuming TC vans are still running.

I ordered from my first link last night ,text from DHL today, delivery tomorrow (with tracking link)
£23.37 for 20 Litres = £1.17 per litre

same seller is shipping 20L Mannol Premium 5w30 Fully Synthetic Long Life Engine Oil Low Saps C3 SN/CF for £35.69

what's not to like 
still have TC semi to stick in the omega ,which needs doing too

Still waiting for Don't Handle Logistics to collect an item from Peterborough. First attempt was 'closed', second attempt was 'refused'...    Almost makes YodellyYoohoo look competent

There is of course a possibility that the sender is pissing them around .  Not that I have much good to say about couriers though...   ...but I have even less faith in ebay/marketplace type sellers.

Refused is courier code for CBA/too busy without upsetting the service figures. When I worked at TNT I knew certain drivers that would scan all the private address deliveries as 'Not Home' on their way to their first (commercial) drop. This meant that when they did OT on Saturday that they had three times as many drops for their delivery bonus... Sod the person who waited in all day Wednesday

Poor lazy management then. They shouldn't have the opportunity to do things like that and should be sacked if caught trying to.
