Oil Problems

[Josh]

Ok, having problems getting the Elf Excellium LDX 5W40 fully synthetic.

So what is 2nd best? and where can i buy it?

I need it before the 10th.

Thanks Josh

Come on someone must be able to help! its doing my head in!

Halfords got there own 5w40 fully synthetic oil, its on sale aswell so quite cheap, if your desperate. Or phone debra for 24 litres for 64 quid

Havent got phone number to hand, Im sure someone else has.

 

[Josh]

Yeah dont really have £64 thats my problem!

+ dont really wanna Halfords stuff in.

What about Castrol Magnatex, or something like that?

magnatecs good i use it in my 172 and havent had no problems

Castrol RS is better than Magnatec and so is Mobil 1 both about £30 from Halfords

Shell Ultra Helix 5w40 Fully Synth is good as well.

All the 5w40 oils are the same just different pots and prices!

Err no!

 

[rabbos]

err sorry, they all taste the same

So how do people decide how much money dictates a true synthetic 5w40? Is it a case of it costs more than £X per litre it must be alright?

If the premium manufacturers had a different product under an umbrealla classification, surely they would make a big fuss about the benefits or even create another classification for a real synthetic? seems very strange to me...
