Default What you think of this oil

This his the oil in my Escos at mo
I put this in before i done the followers i had Ford 5-40 before and then went to 10-60 and it tapped bad on 10-60 even when warm
So i was in Costco and i saw this Chevron oil in there £11.50 with the VAT so i bought some and chuck it in along with a new filter and it shut the tappets right up on and off from cold when warm quite as anything
We fitted new Cam follers from woodfords anyway and even after we fitted them it was quite straight away on first start up I thought they tap abit as soon has you start it for first time
Im well happy with the oil

Whats your views on it

Chevron isn't exactly 'unknown'

It is the American owner of Texaco!!

The company is called Chevron Texaco and is one of the biggest oil suppliers!

As for quality though I have no idea
