New Halfords oil! but too dear for PSL?
 
Popped into Halfords (what would you do without them?) for replacement wiper blade re-fills and lo and behold they are doing their own "High performance full synthetic oil for trackdays" It's even got a classic scoob on the label! It's a 5w/50 but PSL need not apply as it's £32 for 5 litres!
I guess this may start another "What's it got in it" thread, but that's a bit dear for just a stretched version of their 5w/40 full syn?

They are playing on the gullible people who believe it's better for their engine ..... and why not??

If I have learnt anything from ScoobyNet it is that people will pay silly money for rubbish that 'claims' to deliver something to the Subaru Impreza experience. As an Engineer my brain tells me whats rubbish - but lots of people get taken in by it all!!!! :rolleyes:

So, I will buy it when it is their 50% off sale .... why not? at £16 it's only £1 more than the stuff every Impreza owner needs ;)
