SiC Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 4 hours ago, Bren said: No doubt many cheapskate owners will be using this to top up their new audis and BMW's. Compatible with VW505, BMW and MB229 though. Not long life, but if their new Audi's and so is consuming enough oil to need it, it certainly wont hurt them as a top up! I was tempted to buy this for the Laguna oil change but the brand is a bit of a random one. Given Castrol is only £16, it's not a humongous difference to get a known quantity. Even if it's potentially the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigeT Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 On a similar note, resurrecting this thread as there's a good deal on ebay for what seems like decent enough 20W50. XJ-S about to receive 10 litres (cost a mere £18.39 incl delivery), thirsty old cat. Incidentally my CLK still running nicely on the Silverhook stuff I picked up in August thanks to this thread, no discernible difference from pricey stuff, thanks for that tip-off. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303081766608 95 quid Peugeot and sutty2006 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crispian_J_Hotson Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 That's really thick, can't say I've ever put 20 in a motor. How does it perform when the temperature drops or do you just use it for Summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does it perform when the temperature drops or do you just use it for Summer? Performs fine although the XJ-S doesn't get much use in winter. The V12 always gets up to temperature quickly & fuel consumption seems just as bad across seasons irrespective of oil. Thicker oil keeps seepage to acceptable levels too, though if an XJ-S isn't leaking somewhere it's probably running dry!

Sent from my R19 using Tapatalk True - when I got my first car (at 16) in 1982, 20/50 was the thing pretty much everyone used and had been for a decade or more. 15/50 GTX & Duckhams was just starting to replace it though. 10/40 was around but that tended to be for fancier stuff and was de rigeur for Japanese motorcycles (as 20/50 tended to kill them unless worn out already). 10/40 was coming in & becoming the norm on new cars during the 80's as engines got higher revving (plus things like 16v/turbo'd etc) and built to closer tolerances. The ECP Gulf oil bulk buy sounded good, I missed that one but am not needing any right now. Will keep an eye on that in future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
