is that the name of it or what it does :lol:
best thing to do is try a few, you'll get a mixed response off here cos it seems to be down to personal preference.
This question comes up at least once a week!

A nice Fully Synthetic oil such as Silkolene or Motul.
5w-40, 10w-40 or if you have a higher mileage car a 10w-50.

Oh, Holl,
There is a group buy atm, check it out. It's for Silkolene Oil. Really good price if we can get a few more people!

Well mines over 120k so I would call that high mileage. Usually anything over 110k in my book is high, but I mean they are old cars. But different people class high mileage differently don't they. :)
mines 168k!! thats high!!! :D
Jesus 168K, that is high!

FAF! Ironically the temps were lower with that stuff - wasn't in long though... Good old vauxhalls best now :lol:
