That's quite dear. You can use any good quality 10W40 oil. I expect you will get some different opinions on this.

Was waiting for someone to start. I use the cheapest 10.40 or 20.50 I can find in the local supermarkets. Always have done. Never had a blown engine and I drive them hard in a hotter climate than the UK. Change the filter regularly and Bob's your uncle. [or Lucy come to that] |
