Planning an oil change soon. The only 20W50 oil Halfords sell is their own
brand "Classic Motor Oil", which would appear to be appropriate as it is the
right viscosity and is aimed squarely at our cars. I am however a little
suspicious that it is just dirt cheap oil (they did sell a "value" 20W50 not
long ago that I wouldn't touch with a bargepole) priced up in a fancy-looking
can.
However, they do sell a "Track Day Oil", which is normally exhorbitantly
expensive (#32 for a 5l can), but is currently buy one get one free, so is
only just more expensive than the (#15) "classic" oil. It is 15W50, close
enough to the recommended viscosity to be OK.
I am tempted by this - looks like quality oil at a discounted price. But I
know that oil is a controversial subject, and that generally you get what you
pay for. So - any views on this?
