« on: 21 November 2008, 22:10:28 »
is 20 litres of multigrade mineral oil for £25 good?

All Omegas should have minimum of Semi.

Looked at Costco's oil the other day, but Vauxhall stuff on TC is only slightly more, and Vx oil is good quality, and seems less prone to mayo on short trips.

hmmm i did have my doubts.

i was trying to figure out if it was worth getting for the price and changing it more frequently, but in all honestly, the good intentions would be there but........

will have to sort out a TC card, as with two vauxhalls in the family it makes sense.

The fully synthetic Chevron oil from Costco is not bad, but that's probably over double the price. I doubt the mineral oil is anything like as good as VX Semi, and for little more money, as said. VX Semi on TC can't really be beaten for value.

I keep thinking they'll pull the offer or increase the price so buy a box when I'm in.

Trouble is I now have gallons of the stuff littering my garage  :o

I even arranged for my friend to bring his V reg Focus round for a swift half - but they only use fully synth!!

So nipped to Halfords and got 5L unit of Halfords finest priced at £25 - went through till with TC £12.50 so still got my reserve  :-/

suspect that is for longer service intervals.
