It always seems to me that 4ltrs is a bit of a nothing size as as most larger cars need 5ltrs at least, don,t know
about smaller cars as i haven,t had one for donkeys years. ???

Not sure of the technical differences, but I trust the brighter people amongst you bought this one...

Just had a look at 5w 30 deal online  :y

Tempted to do an Oil change soon to the 5W 30 as it was recommended to me to use in the mig by VX
( improves fuel and engine efficiency ? :-\ )

I've also seen the genuine GM 5W 30 dexos 2 is £20.00 for 5 Ltrs on an ebay parts store  :y ( if it's genuine that is.. )

Having failed to reserve in store in Basingscrote, I was passing anyway today, and popped in as it didn't seem to be too busy. The place was overrun with cheap oil, so got 4 and another 4 still reserved at another store should I fancy them. :D

Somewhere lurking in the depths of my mind is the thought that before you can change to fully synthetic oil from mineral you need to do something - flush the engine out, maybe?
Does anyone know what I'm talking about, because I don't!
