I'd be dropping the Castrol shite out, putting in a better oil, and seeing what happens. Esp as this happened immediately after putting the Castrol Shite in.

My thoughts on Castrol oils are well known. Basically, I wouldn't even let it ruin my lawnmower.

As long as the oil hasn't been changed every 20k, like the schedule suggests, history is always good.

Its been changed every 10k but you said "as long as it has't been changed every 20k" did you mean "has" :)

Also whats the general opinion on halfords oil and Mobils oils?

The GM schedule is every 20k. Which is ridiculous, but pleases fleet managers.

I'd say 10k is too long.

I try to change mine every 3k ;) - the single best thing you can do :y


Given the cost of GM Semi Synth on Trade Club, no other oil is worth considering.  Its as cheap as the cheap stuff, and a very good oil. About £45 for 4 x 5l cans.

Mobil1 is another very good oil, but too expensive. I'd prefer to use a cheaper (but still good quality) oil, and change it more regularly, than an expensive oil, changed every 10k ;)
