anybody used texaco havoline oil?
 
saw this in asda this morning and it was a 15/40 oil from memory

texaco is a decent enough make, and IIRC the cost was quite good as well??

Havoline Premium 15W-40
(Previously Havoline Formula3 15w-40)
A premium performance, multigrade engine oil suitable for naturally aspirated and turbocharged gasoline, diesel or LPG engines in passenger cars, vans, and light commercial vehicles.

Specially formulated to provide complete engine protection against starting friction, heat stress and engine deposits.
i think they were in 5 litre packs and IIRC they were only around £17/£18 (could be wrong ! )

down to personnal choice. i aint bothered what other people run theres on i choose milers coz its a quality oil and highly recommeded by people in the know. plus its always been ok in my car like mobil1 will be in yours. personal choice why argue about it if your getting it for free??!!!!!!

so has anybody actually used this havoline stuff then???

I have used Havoline 5w 40 fully synthetic in my last wrx V8, and will probably be using it again in my V7 Sti, quality oil.
The best thing about it is the price, Texaco garages sell it for £9 - £10 a litre, wheras Morrisons petrol stations sell exactly the same Texaco Havoline 5w 40 FS for £5 a litre.
IMHO £25 for 5 litres of fully synthetic 5w 40 is tremendous value, esp as I change the oil every 5K.

£13.44 in the local asda for 5 litres of 10/40 texaco havoline semi synth

£7.30ish for the 15/40 which i forgot to check to see what it is :)
