been having a quick read and generally u suggest 5w-40 or 10w-40 on a budget changed twice as often, but buy my reckoning castrol magnatec 10w-40 is £25.17 x2= £50.24 where as silkolene pro s 5w-40 is £49.35 which ur saying is a superior oil? With a high millage car like mine would i get away with 5w-40 oil if so what would be the change intervals? whats ur reccomendations budget and best?

Cheap oil changed often is false economy. As you can see using a top synthetic in the long run is cheaper, and it will do a better job while it is in there.
Even with a high mileage car, as long as it is in good shape a good 5w-40 synthetic is ideal. You dont have to spend Pro S money if can afford/justify it as there are good alternatives such as the Fuchs Titan Supersyn, Motul 8100, Mobil 1 Synt S to name a few.
Have a look
