if you need some oil right now

a 5 litre 'can' of Castrol GTX 10w40 costs

Halfords Ã‚£18.99

Motor factors with 'trade' discount - about Ã‚£16

Tescos petrol stations - Ã‚£13.97

I hate Tescos ability to tread on farmers to give the consumer low prices, but if they can tread on the oil companies, I'm all for it.

Is that fully synth and enough for an oil change in the M42 engine?, I went to Kwik FIt for my last one a month ago, might buy more for next time.

erm no

my personal ideas on oil in old cars is to buy a quality mineral and change it more often than is recommended.

But ask an expert - the Oilman.
