I'd be surprised if the Halfords oils are consistently from the same source, to be honest. It's wet and slippery and conforms to the relevant standards. Good enough for me.

Maybe not always from the same source Kevin, but the oils on current special offer are all Comma - the Safety Data Sheet for each grade is a Comma Safety Data Sheet.  Interesting though is that the link only puts up Sheet No 1 (of 4)   Where's the other 3?

OK. Fair enough. Comma oils are pretty well respected so good enough for me.

Fair comment.....and at ten quid a pop you can't go wrong.

I've not heard anything particularly bad about comma.

Well at what point should I have posted that " I cirtainly wouldn't put that coma crap in my car, and I feel this stuff is similar quality" ...?
Because if I'd posted prior to this post, I would have been accused of some sort if snobbery, and after I'd be accused of being wise after the event.

But no, in any event, not for me. Thanks.

Seemingly Halfords/Comma oil is actually Esso. http://www.uk.commaoil.com/media/view/119

Just had a result on this, reserved online went to the store to collect. As usual with Halfrauds, the checkout girl looked my order number up, then went to the shelf to pick it out 

Not enough there, so had to get some more from the back. Remind me again, the point in reserving if they just pick it off the shelf on arrival 

Anywho, got the deal price of £10 per 5L bottle, I then decided to flash my trade card. I was not expecting anything as it was already on offer, but got another £2 off!

So £38 for 4x 5L of 5w30 Fully Synth.

Not a bad deal that, on the drive back been trying to remember how much GM's 10/40 is on trade club, as I'm sure this works out quite a bit cheaper. Recall £48/50 all in last time I went to a dealer 

At this price I'm considering going back for another 8 bottles this time, assume there is no harm in 5/30 Fully Synth in high miles 2.2 petrol?

Re-reading the above it looks to keep its "structure" longer, so in theory longer changes (not that I'll go on miles, more colour/feel)

Didn't think you got extra Trade off on promo stuff, but sometimes the trade is cheaper than promo, yes right result £8 a hit considering its £34 retail. 

[zirk]

Anyone know when this promo ends?

[tunnie]

That's good point about trade being cheaper, that suggests I'm not limited on time because of the offer.

I can give this stuff a go, see how I get on, then get more.

Im not sure Tunnie, cant imaging it being £8 trade normally, think if I was you I'd be going back and emptying the Store of the stuff.

Hummm 

Very tempted, but if this stuff turns out to be shite and creating loads of mayo I've got a buck load of crap oil.

 

Edit, actually, if Mr Wood is happy with it, be good enough for my engines

It wont be crap if its Comma, it will be fine, worst case sell some to memebers or the Bay. 

[tunnie]

Good point 

At £9.50 a bottle, so thats £9.50 per change (+ filter) on the 2.2, its worth a go
