TBH, I think i'd rather use Mobil oil, dont know why, just feel it would be better quality than some shit GM have put together to sell on for 10x the amount it cost them.

I sell GM semi to 90% of the garages in this county. Reason being its cheap and the spec is high enough for lots of engines.
If you were to go to a garage to get an oil change anywhere in Ceredigion chances are they are using GM oil in your car.
Whats this bollox that vaux charge 10x what it cost them...idiot. We make £1 profit on every 5 litres we sell. Garages in the trade club get it even cheaper so we actually loose money but get a rebate from GM to cover that.
