jon5698 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I have used royal purple in all of my other cars and it will be going into the supra when it comes, as well as going in the diff and gear box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Always used mobil 1 and its been great, i changed over to silkolene a few years back and blew up 2 engines (most likely just unlucky) with it so went back to mobil 1 again and alls been good with this car.

imi Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 right i'm going to break the mould, shock horror Halfords synthetic 5w/40, tested for the last 8 years in my car 3 years @ 1.2 bar BPU, the last 2 years @1.4 bar single turbo, changed at around every 3-4k miles, i cant see the point in paying an inflated price from a small volume manufacturer with a fancy name guess oil is just oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul mac Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 guess oil is just oil this thread is so old, its now 9 years and still going strong with Halfords, mind you it is about £32 a pop so its not exactly cheap, just worked out i have probably used about 100 litres of the stuff and about 20 Lexus V8 oil filters over the years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 32 for the oil? That's a bit pricey for halfords..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul mac Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 32 for the oil? That's a bit pricey for halfords..... i did a bit of research on it and it equals (and in some cases exeeds) all the standards the "cool" named synthetics have, i am sure i read somewhere its produced for Halfords by Shell and as its tried and tested in my car (which now has some pretty high miles) i'm not paying over the odds for some fancy named oil made by a niche manufacturer with very small production runs and hence an inflated price tag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keancy Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I been using Silkolene 10w-40 for the last year and am about to have an Oil change at MOT tomorrow with the same Oil again.
