  3. Should be OK - I'm using Halfords classic oil which i guess is similar and all is OK

  4. Should be fine if you’ve got an older engine. I use Unipart 15W40.
     
  5. As long as you can scrub it off your drive it’s fine :D

    Yep, doesn't stay in long enough to do damageo_O

    May give it a try and see how it goes and yes it is an old motor which has seen better days. Thanks for the responses:thumbsup:

    ATM have Halso 10/40 and it's begun leaking so may as well have some thicker oil in it.Won't stop it leaking but I think 10/40 may be a touch thin for my old un.
     
  10. Tried Millers 30 sae mineral years ago, seemed too thin, handbook suggest mineral 20/50 and have been using Millers pistonease 20/50, for a couple of years and seems better.

    20W/50 is great because when it makes the oil pressure so high on a cold morning that pipes pop off offboard oil coolers, it sits in a pile under the engine while you rush around finding the cat litter and the shovel to scoop it up... brilliant !:confused:
