you can get the castrol oil from the castrol classic oil web site delivered to your door for around £35 for 5 litres thats were I get mine from.That is very cheap as its around £10 a litre from a motor shop.

If its an oil top up, then the same as is in there

If its a replace thats a whole different ball game...

I currently use Amsoil 10w40 synth, not sure if you guys get it in the UK, I'll be swapping to Elf Excellium 10w40 very shortly though, have read it has better properties than the Amsoil.
