Cheers 4 that i have already seen a number of these threads but cant find any sites selling the mobil or castrol & i had seen on sum of the info pages that the 60 stuff might break down a bit too soon so i was tempted by the silkolene un although was being advertised in 4 litre & 1 litre packages so wood cost more but i'm willing 2 pay 4 da best 4 me baby
Any1 no if u have 2 pay shed loads of P&P if getting oil off net wasn't sure?

Im not overly fussed on the silkolene. Heard too many noisy engines with it. Id prefer the Mobil 1 motorsport, or castrol RS

I use Silkolene Pro S 10w 50 in my '02 WRX and reckon its top quality stuff IMHO

As used by TSL and also Scoobysport(correct me if I'm wrong on the latter)

I think I paid about £30 for a 5 litre can from TSL.

So far found silkolene goodies on slippery when hot but i'm hoping i can avoid paying £7 p&p although any1 no how much 4+litres of oil weights? Any other sites that do it as i couldn't get on scoobysport site
Oh well better get it 2gether soon service looms........

Halfords got me a case of Castrol RS 10-60 as a special order. It took weeks to arrive but the price was okay - about £28 for 4-litres AFAIR.

Yeah halfords said they could put a special order on but since booked in 4 a service on Saturday need it now!
Any1 got anything against castrol GTX magnatec 10w:40 since that's all that looks half decent in the right rating?
