Quick Engine oil Question. - R75
Is this www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?id=91019&ts=9...0 ok to use?

Bearing in mind it will get changed every 6 months and do no more then about 4k in that time - but lots of stop starting.

Is it really worth paying more then double for same spec oil?

If an engine requires this spec oil then it will be fine. But you can probably buy the same stuff locally for the same price (I know I can). TBH I can't see the point in buying heavy low-value stuff like oil by mail order. The shipping costs always make it expensive.

Normally I would agree, but Screwfix have a trade counter about 2 miles away which is closer then the nearest motor factor (who incidentally have run out of 15/40), many thanks for prompt reply, I will pop out and get some and then treat the Shuttle to some new blood ;o)
