Exclamation lets talk oil....

ok, i'm going to be buying some oil i believe i'm looking for 10w60 but what kind is best? i've seen millers do that kind, but is it good enough or am i best getting something else? i really need it for this weekend soo not wanting to do a mail order thing as i fear i might not get it in time.

Either Motul 15/50

or castrol RS 10/60 which is what i use.

Alot of people prefere motul 300v 15/50 though.

I also use castrol 10w60... well it's in the car now anyway......

wait.....

Ah yes the point! IIRC you are in or about glasgow, Speak to mark @ the Garage, if you tell him your situation i'm sure you could get oil from him. Also you could try 'pistons and components' on great western road (dunno though).

You should not have a problem finding mobil 1 15/50 as halfords sell it, alot of places sell castrol RS 10/60 too.
