If you try Advanced Motor Factors you'll find a similar price all year round.

Picked mine up, as already said if it meets the spec, it meets the spec.

I bought a fair whack of them last time the offer was on.
I've done 2 C5 Hdi's with it, a Xantia and an XM and as above, as long as i meets the spec its all good, even better when you buy it this cheap as it makes it much better when i comes to halving the service interval anyway and helping prolong the life of an engine as we all know 10k+ in a diesel engine the oil is honking when it comes out and far past is best FFRR Owner, very nearly became a D3 owner
Test piloted a new D4 XS SDV6.. Gone and being forgotten i hope!!
D4 HSE 10MY
D4 XS 11MY
SSRR Destroyer *2
122,000 miles and I've put this in between each dealer service. Nothing wrong with this oil at all.I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
Just picked my four up today and there was about 20-30 more bottles that people had ordered, all sat with their names on them just waiting for collection, Goodyear Duratracs

I've been using Halfords oil in my classic for a while. They do an oil for older cars that still has high levels of zddp, which helps reduce wear on older engines running on unleaded. They say it also contains seal conditioners. Whatever get truth, my foray into part synthetic oils that produced an oil leak was rectified by switching back to Halfords oil.
But he real pain with Halfords is that they won't publish the tech data on all of their oils. All US producers do this. I emailed Halfords to ask about zinc levels but they said they could not disclose the data.
Their arsyness aside, I've been happy with the oil. Had no idea it was made by exxon.. I couldn't find that know despite looking.PAGODA

I was very pleased with my local Halfords, who rang within half an hour of me ordering to say that my oil was ready for collecting and to just go to the parts desk and give them my order number.
I was pleasantly surprised to find when I got there, that as stated there were my 4 which was a 3+1 all boxed and waiting, unlike when I go to eurocarparts after a call to say it's ready to collect and when I get there I wait 5-10 mins waiting for them to pick it off the shelf.
