Good spot Mark, here is the link: http://www.halfords....l-diesel-oil-4l I find it a bit thin in my engine, but would be great for most VXTs I think.

Where's it say the free 1 litre?

 

These 4 litre bottles really annoy me. Especially when the Halfords containers are actually 5 litre size but just have 4 litres in them.

This page has it on the advert at the top. Going to pop through to halfords in a min and get some for the vx so will confirm it. http://www.halfords....ine-oils-fluids

Cancel that. That may mean they'll put it in the car for you. I'm sure it said on the PH thread though. Trying to find it.

[Zoobeef]

Found it. Yes looks like they'll just tip it in your engine for free. Bit of a price increase then as the offer was £10 for 4 litres last time.

Not much good if you don't need a top up. 

 

Just realised I've still got 3 cans from the last halfords offer anyway so I'll give this a miss.

Whats this like in an na? Does it meet the vx spec?

 

I have had a look in my handbook and the recommended oils are 10W 40 or 5W 40. However I don't understand all the other numbers

 mentioned in the book. What is the significance of synthetic and non-synthetic as well. At the moment I am using 10W 40 part synthetic from Halfords. However I am due a service shortly and this would be ideal.

 

BTW am I right on saying the amount of oil required is 5.5L for the NA?

I said we needed a tagging feature to tag members in posts. The fully synthetic one from halfords is what I currently have in. Still have 2 litres left from last time so will just need another one to do an oil change after blyton this Saturday and before Zandvoort.

I also have the fully synthetic in my NA. It meets all the latest specs and works well in a vectra engine..

[Andrew aka Stuwy]

If I remember correctly from reading the all about oil topic started by Fez. in reality the synthetic non synthetic means fcuk all

Just a note. Bought 8 litres and it's £11.40 for 4 using a trade card.
