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.
