Inspection II Service

[Jim320i]

Ignore Jim Pony. He's a know tight fisted coo nt that would run his engine on cooking oil if he thought he would get away with it.

That's not the same spec as 10W-40
Looks to be 15W-40 ?
And who would you rather trust Castrol or a brand I have never heard of ?

Do I need your consent to run a particular brand of oil in my property?

[pony]

Is that a rehetorical question ?

[Mitchen]

A million miles on a 325 sport.. all down to Mobil 1 fully synthetic apparently

[pony]

Indeed I might go for the Mobil 10W-40 which is semi-synthetic or Mobil 1 Fully Synthetic 0W-40 New Life or Castrol Edge Full Synthetic 0W-40 or just stick with Castrol Magnatec 10W-40 for the next BMW Service

Dear oh dear, what a gay thread

Out of interest, does anyone actually have a f ucked engine purely down to the oil they've used? I suspect the answer is no, so really, as has been said a million times, the M20 couldn't careless which oil it drinks.

I'm in the Comma gang, if it costs less than £20 for 5L, that'll do just fine. Having ran an M20 for 100,000 miles on the "cheap" stuff with no ill effects i'll continue using it.

I did have a quick look at my thread last night and turns out I have used Halfords Full Synthetic Engine Oil before looking at the receipts. Not sure which grade I used.
