Cheap oil

[clanless]

I'm thinking of giving this a go, its B3 spec. Only 11 quid a bottle - any1 used this before?

One of the things I dont buy cheap of is engine oil, for the extra 20-30 quid I would stick to a better brand.

Normally I would agree - but we're talking a 307 here - it just won't last long enough to see the benefits on a better quality oil.

This oil meets B3 spec as required in the handbook - so why pay more?

251k? You should have had it stuffed and mounted.

You can get the pug suggested stuff off ebay for around £25. Its cheaper in the long run to pay for quality service materials.

I've googled this - its Comma oil in drag.

Also, a look at the bottle shape - its the same with a different label.

Just goes to show - sometimes u don't get what you pay for.

Now 12 quid a bottle - thanks to the coalition government.

I paid £35 for the bottle for mine. I personally like the peace of mind of putting the specific oil in rather than going for the cheaper brands.

Don't want to force any opinions on you. If you're wanting to sell it on then just stick the cheap stuff in.
