I've actually switched all my cars that want a 40 weight oil onto that stuff - it's a good spec - so I now buy it in 20L cans and save some money. The B-L car runs on 50 weight though.

Yeah. For example : https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre ... 2598803795

I think you can buy it 205l drums too, but that's a bit much.

Or from site Sponsor Opie Oils. Do they still do the RS246 discount?

Good spot. Last time I ordered (in the spring) they had it listed for £170ish, so I bodyswerved, but their price has come down since then.

Got a service due in about 300 miles, so think I will grab my Oil from here there.
