No need to tell my other half - I'm the one that owns the car, he doesn't even drive!

I see I am not the only one hwo thinks the post is sexist.

I told my wife but she wasnt bothered!!!

A better deal is usually to be found at the Range..A bit vague but I think it is Uniroyal (about £15 for 5 litres)they sell which is a rebadged premium oil maybe Fuchs

Titan XTR 5W-30

This is not the same specification oil as the Castrol, Catalyst compatible or low SAPS (Sulphated Ash, Phosphorus and Sulphur).This is a much higher spec,and it was in store on the sale isle.ACEA C3 for those that know what i am talking about.

Castrol Edge is also ACEA C3. With respect, the sort of people who spout ratings, followed by "for those that know what I am talking about" generally have no clue about oils. A good oil is one that is right for your engine, ratings only help guide you to a suitable oil. Older cars benefit from slightly thicker oil.

Read the thread i was replying to photome he recommends the link to Fuchs Titan which is not the same oil as Castrol Edge which i am talking about ( i was unable to quote photome it has a link and i am a newbie) so what's a slightly thicker oil then?Older cars do not benefit from thicker oil it's just that they can run on this cheaper oil without damage,but it needs changing on a more regular basis than a semi or full synthetic oil.As i said in my original post Castrol Edge 5W-30 4litres £25 Asda BARGAIN if you know what a bargain is!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah but you sure thats what they put in, just 'cos thats what's on the poster doesn't mean thats whats in the tank

I watched them take the measure of 7 litres from their castrol drum
and put it in direct
unless they have been filling the drum up with cheaper stuff...im pretty sure its the right thing
