Im not that lucky for it to be a quick fix like halfords. I think that will do a Mobil oil as their "premimum" choice.

 

I think that will be my only solution to get some Mobil stuff. Obviously 5W40 stuff and i guess it will be synthetic too.

 

what are the issues with mixing 2 brands of oil? I will have about 2.5L of the Silkolene in there so should i top up to high with another 2L of Mobil stuff or should i just put enough of the Mobil stuff in to bring it over the LOW level and top up with Silkolene ASAP when i can get some from the Oilman?

 

It will just be one 100 mile journey that i need to do tomorrow before i can store it away until i can get hold of the right oil.

What he said.....

 

.......if you have 2.5 litres of 5w40 in the sump already just go to a premium brand petrol station (Shell, Texaco, Total) they all sell their own brand of 5w40 fully synthetic. Also from memory, Esso sell Mobil and BP sell Castrol.
