15W50 is a bit heavy isn't it? I appreciate that might be a compromise because Halfords don't seem to list any 10W50.

I've run my car on that Mobil 1 15w50 for nearly 10 years now. Thats including normal driving, trackdays, sprints, hillclimbs etc so its tried and tested and proven to be good stuff as far as i'm concerned ;-)

Every now and again Halfords do it at 20% off which makes it about £37, I usually wait until then and buy a couple.

Even when its £48 I haven't found it cheaper anywhere else.

Mobil 15W50 is discontinued so product supply line will run out soon. Plenty of other 10W50 15w50 quality oil options though ... Try some Fuchs when my shelf stock runs out ...
