When I need it in a rush.. I always use Halfords... spend over 50 quid, you get 10 quid off...

Two 4litre Mobile 1 Motorsport work out at 54 quid then.

27quid inc. I think..cant remember... lol

If your car is warrantied then you want mobil 1 5w40, if out of warranty then use 15w50 but never use 0w40 as its too thin!!

Its going into a '91 legacy with 120k miles on the clock which should be long out of warranty .

After 120k I think I would be tempted towards the Mobil 1 Motorsport. If 0W/40 is too thin for cars <3 years old then I think it most certainly is for a '91.

Next time you're on a booze cruise do what Stephen did - Mobil 1 5W50, 4l @ £18.

Good old Rip off Britain
