Asda - 20/50 for Ł3.74

been running my 200sx on it for months, well, i gotta put about 5L of oil in every 200 miles

yeah cheap oils good cause you actually want to help the bedding in of the engine, maybe a cheap semi synthetic?

Cheapo toss pot oil for first 20mile, then drop the oil and change the filter (most of your engine bed in happens around the first 20mile ie piston ring bed-in) then run on a half decent mineral oil, one of Fords if your passionate lol, with a new filter then after 500 mile change to a good quality synthetic oil, again with a new filter.....job done
