oil poll

Castrol GTX 10 x 40 ... tell me if I\'m wrong please..................

Nope, \'cos that\'s what Pip put in mine after rebuild and what I use still!

Used to use semi-syn before until Pip showed / explained what it does to engines over prolonged use!

[Prof]

Shell Helix Plus for the engine / turbo - and Premium Marine TCW3 for the oil injectors.  Oil change every 3000 miles or 3 months which ever comes first.
 
Also do a full \'flush\' every year along with that oil change.

[FD3S Efini]

Halfords 10w-40w mineral oil..thats what i was told to use but when i pick my car up from Carls il ask him what is best

[Adie Moore]

shell helix mineral, with a dash of 2 stroke for good luck.

[papercutout]

Comma also make the cheap wilkinsons oil, I had work experience there when i was 16 and was surprised by how many shops they supplied.

 And planet! I got 5l of 10/40 semi from the local motorfactors for £12.60 for my BMW, a little too regularly (oil leak). Had a sticker on the back saying \'filled by comma\'.  10/40 halfords mineral... Bought 10l yesterday - disappointly traders discount card only gets you £4 off a bottle! lol.

[nuki]

i use full mineral 10w40 and change oil and filter every month. i used to use castrol gtx or helix but they have some semi synthetic in them and cost like £20+. i pay £9.02+vat for 5Litres from Millers refinery themselves after looking at the bottle in a car shop noticed they charge an extra £15 by stocking it in there shop rather than going direct to the trade counter. last time i went to millers i bought full mineral 10w40 and got 10 letres for 19.04+vat.
