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 tend to buy mine from Opie Oils when it's on special.

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 ;-)

+1 on that, Used it in my GTIR for 12+yrs & used mobil in my 323 B6T for 18yrs & it runs without a rattle/tick or knock ...

I'm sure opie has some 15/50 on special at the moment. About £23 for 5 litres

cant seem to find that deal stu on opie prob expired..

 

[turbazz]

halfords is the only place i can find nearly £50 anyone know a cheaper place

 

[MarkTurbo]

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.

i was using castrol 10/60 last time i changed my oil just just changed it again to fuchs 10/50 and the car runs a lot better seems to rev better and seems better on fuel

 

[Mr B]

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 ...

 

[turbazz]

just went down to halfords no stock anywhere near me...wah u sayin Mrb is discontinued ? argh:doh:

 

[turbazz]

What should I buy now that is discontinued guys??

 

[PobodY]

Don't BP service stations sell Catrol oils? - It's the same company after all.

 

[turbazz]

castrol edge 10w 60 though i think am going to get fuchs...

Sorry mate it was the 5/40 i was looking at http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-984-fuc...h-performance-fully-synthetic-engine-oil.aspx

the book states 5/30 is the standard oil for the gtir!

i use 10/40 myself, but i dont do any track days and dont rag the shit out of my cars!
