If you do a search for oil and Teutonic Tamer there are many little essays on the comparitive merits of different oils.

I think the jist of it was that Catrol = very good.  Mobil = very bad.

stick with castrol 5W-30 and you'll be fine...

I bought Castrol SLX 5W-30 which has "Longlife III" in the corner from the stealer. That's the stuff you want - LL oil.

Castrol it is!! Christ that TT knows his stuff!!!!!!!!
Wondered why I couldn't find that other Castrol anywhere in halfords.
Stick with the fully synth Castrol edge 5W 30! (believe thats Longlife as I have been told)

I think we need to quietly dispose of this thread - if TT sees it he'll have a fakkin coronary!

Try Costco - I bought mine there some time ago but it was very, very cheap
