    Just wondered what oil people use in the UK and where to get it from ?

    My car currently has Shell Helix Super 10W/40 in, but it's not that easy to get hold of.

    If anyone knows of a shell supplier in the north west that would help for the moment. Garages don't seem to stock the 10W/40

    Yeah, I saw that one. Can you mix Plus and Super ? The Shell website says pretty much the same about the Plus and Super products...

    Plus looks better than SUper so if its all you can get and its the same grade - also they are local (ish ) & its good enough for EVo's !

    You won't go far wrong with Castrol Magnatec (for advanced engines)

    Lots of people use that in 308/328s & Mondials (me included for the last 4 or 5 years)
