got a few days off work so gonna treat the old dog to some fresh oil, normally get oils etc from eurocar parts but they dont stock any of the fully synthetic oils on the wiki, last time i changed it i put semi synthetic valvoline 10w 40 but am thinking i'll stick some fully in this time. where do peeps get it from?? Defo dont wanna be paying over 50 quid for it or semi is all she'll be getting,

I buy my oil from the oilman on here - OPie Oils. They have some cracking deals and if you buy enough deliery charges are negligible IIRC.

Watch out for Asda doing there castrol GTX deals 4 litres for a tenner and since I change mine about every 1000 miles / 12 months it's a cheap way to do it.
