Motrio 5w/40 Super Extra Fully Synthetc Engine Oil

[Deerhound]

Has anyone tried Motrio 5w/40 Super Extra Fully Synthetc Engine Oil in their 182?
I've used it for ages in my 1.2 Dynamique & it's superb!
As for my RB 182 though I'm not sure.
Interesting to hear any views or expert opininons.
I had thought of using Fuchs 5w/40 or Valvoline Synthetic 5w/40 but the Motrio is very good value at under £20 for 5 litres.

When I took my 172 to birchdown services they said there's no need to use Fuchs stuff. Said there's a lot of scaremongering goes on on forums like this and that makes people go out and buy the expensive stuff. He said people use halfords own stuff without any problems.

Depends partly what the car is being used for / the expected performance of the oil really.

Out of interest what makes you say the fuchs stuff is superb? I will always use a premium oil on a car i intend on keeping as its only long term you'll get the big benefits such as increased engine life
