A real good oil is silkolene, from opieoils.

GSF for Fuchs, real good for price, is in 4 litres, so handy if you've say an M3 with 7 litres needed

I got some Fuchs from GSF this last time, good VFM. Motul is also very good and you can get that from Opie.

he was giving an example of size of the oil containers, ie, 4 litres is not enough for most cars but would be good for an M3 as you would have a top up litre left

How many litres?

4 litres Fuchs from GSF is Ł16+vat, so about Ł36 for 8 litres, which can't be bad.

Bit cheaper when a member, and have discounts at times.

I once bought 21 litres, painful

Not spending out anymore, like to change it regular so not so fussy.
