Don't know about it being any good, but my main dealer only charge's £20/5Ltr's, which i "think" is 10 40w, synthetic, but can't remember what brand.

Castrol RS is a good oil, although it is a hydrocracked mineral with synthetic addatives. For the money it's OK, but for not much more you can get a quality fully synthetic. I use Silkolene ProS 10W50, which I get for £27/5l (provided I buy 4 at a time, go halves with a mate). I wouldn't recommend a 0 based oil in a high mileage car, particularly a Scoob, 5 as a minimum. 5W40 or 10W50 are good all year round, but if you want to vary it, 5W will be better in the winter and 10W in the summer.
