Title: Oils
Post by: omega3000 on 24 July 2014, 21:47:36: What make of engine oils are to be avoided , out of 4 omegas only 1 suffered from mayo in the filler neck regardless of short runs ect . Ive ran all sorts of oil from budget to high but we always used Castrol years ago with no problem but Castrol dont seem to be very popular anymore :-\

I found Duckhams to be good years ago ::)

Is there discount for say 3 x 20 litres ?

Post by: 05omegav6 on 24 July 2014, 22:30:14: I don't know... all depends on how the offer is arranged ::)

But 25ish% off every 20 litres is generally found to be more enjoyable than a prod in the nadgers with a pointy thing :-X

Post by: Sir Tigger KC on 24 July 2014, 22:52:27: Costco sell Chevron 10w40 at about £40 for 20 litres. So if I can't blag TC price on Gen GM somewhere soon, then that's what the old girl will get! ::) :)
