hey guys,
right, im going to be servicing the car tomorow for the 3rd time since owning it.
I have allways used Castrol GTX Magnetec 10w40 oil but im not sure if its times for a change.
One factor in this is price.
I can get 4 litres of the above for £25.99
OR
5 litres of Carlube 10w40 for £11.99.
Now i actually went on the Castrol site and put in my reg, its says the oil they recomend for my car is Castrol EDGE 5w40, although when i put my reg in it said its a VTS which it is not, so how trustworthy that is i dont no.
BUT..
My car is just about to hit 118k so i have been wondering if some of the Castrol GTX High Milage engine oil would be better...
could anyone give any advice here??
Ive already tried asking "Oilman" @ Opie Oils but as can be seen HERE (http://www.saxperience.com/forum/member.php?u=5305) that was a total waste of time!!! (check dates on my posts!)
any help would be great,
Thanks.
