Fully Synthetic oil £14 deal at Halfords...
Looks like a bargain to me as it is normally £29.
Cant remember what the current wisdom is re oils for the Scoob, but I do remember paying about £40 for some fully synth Motul last time. Anyone remember the SAE recomendation?
Cheers

5L OF 5 : 40 (I guess its that since it seems like the packaging for the stuff I use in the other car). Popping over there now to see for certain - annoyingly not on Halfordfs website.

Well I got 3 cartons of it; be mad not too at half price, and probably a quarter of the cost of the 'brands'. Trawling to see if its ok to use in the Scoob now...

It is probably 0W40 which is what I got from Halfords. It just means that it will work at -32degC, which is why it is cheap cos we don't really need it in the UK. However, at 0-10degC it will have a very similar consistancy as all other brands.
There is a lot of missunderstanding about oils on here - send a mail to Castrol & they will send you an info pack.

it's Halfords own... my Celica ploughs through it... it's very thin!
(I work there, i've had Castrol training, and apparently i'm a "Specialist"!)

How does that E-Bay thing work again? Should be able to sell if for £20 once the promo's over 
OK, I'll just save it for my 4.6 V8 shopping trolley then - uses 6.5 litres in one go! It will be covered for a couple of years now and that doesnt run quite so hot!
Thanks for the advice guys.
