everywhere sells mobil 1! seen it in tescos and asda. apparently its good, but for £40 for 4 litres it should be!

ive ran plenty of engines, including my current 169bhp x16xe on vaux 10w 40. seems to last a while and never had any problems.

if it is, then the GTX which went tappy tappy was the wrong viscosity than on the label!

well i dont run anything other than the vauxhall stuff, as do alot of other people

i ran castrol once in my old corsa & changed it after 300 miles back to vaux stuff as it tapped like mad on cold startup, vaux oil never had an issue with!
