dunno on the maker but if it meets the specs for your engine its safe to use

check the handbook it will have a api rating , then see what the tescos rating is

Hi stevo
It actually exeeds the ratingg of whats specified

It has the API rating on the back and European rating too which are better than required

if the grade is correct its plenty good enough then

i recently tried some asda havoline in my older vw...seemed to like it more than expensive stuff lol

I spotted Asda own brand diesel 15w/40 oil half price (Under a fiver for I think 5l).Was tempted to buy some for my petrol car as it had the correct specs for petrol engine oil and was highly specified from what I could tell.

im led to believe you can use diesel oil in a petrol car...just has more detrergents

HI again
From what i can gather the spec especially @ tesco and confirmed by my brother in law (mechanic) is as good as any and cheaper too so as long as the specs are ok why not save money? Someone must make it for tesco
