Check out your local Halfords ppl!

Went to Bridgwater today and shock, its half price!

£15.99 / 4L.

0/40 is tooooo thin.

0/40 is tooooo thin.

 

 

Its too "thin" for high milage cars. It should be good for good condition engines

You put 0/40 in yours then Stu.

I'll stick with 10/60. :)

I used 10/60 last summer , but this year im sticking with 0/40.

My engine's low mileage and sound and seems to like the stuff.

Bo77ocks too thin. Its the right stuff, 40 is the hot weight. my 136k miles engine has had it since 110k and its proper. Doesnt burn it and it gets to its parts quicker than a Heineken. 60 is for track use or sha99ed engines. You dont see 60 weight mentioned in the makers handbook. Castrol RS 0-40 works for me.

The manual doesn't mention 0 cold either.

Don't forget that those figures are for std lumps with std oil temps.

Not lumps that are modiffied.

 

My turbo (Turbo Dynamics) came with an advisory also to not run it with less than 10/50 fully synth.

 

But if it works it works, but i still won't stick it in my engine.

lol i went and bought a few things from halfords yesterday and it was priced at £36, when i got the receipt i thought they'de cocked up

so obviously not:rolleyes:

to thin?? lol it's in now

LMFAO.. go look at the viscosity of some of them flushing oiks, theyre a 10 so 9 is deffo too thin, besides its not as if we live in alaska!

I currently have normal Castrol Mineral oil in mine :D

That's because you are running it in Stu.

That's what you are supposed to have in it. :)

0 is better than 10 when stone cold - its common sense.

If you get rattles and tapping for a split second when starting from cold ,the thinner the cold viscosity the quicker it will get there = less start up wear.

Anyway got a few cans, personally I think the 60 stuff is too thick :D

true, thinner at startup is an advantage, but it might mean more leakage from an older engine ? But if u have no leaks, i shud be OK.

 

The 40 high temp visc. may be a little too thin when driving hard in summer.

I bought some 0/40 at Halfords the other week.

Couldn't believe the price, cheaper than Halfords own semi synthetic!
