No Castrol 5W40 in UK ??

Post by quattrosteph » Thu Apr 27, 2006 8:41 pm

Hello guys,

Did try to find some Castrol oil 5W40 , i can find none..!! It is available in France but not here aparantly. :( Am i wrong ??

Just try to find an alternative, the 0w30 i think is not good enough and the 10W60 is too much. I know this have been discuss before but do you know a good alternative? :kissmyrings:

Many thanks

I'm using Castrol Edge Sport (previously called "RS"). If it's good enough for VW Racing, it's good enough for me :-) It's 0W-40 and basically their top oil for high performance vehicles.

I do change it every 5k though as there is usually at least one track day every 5k miles....

Cant go wrong with M1 0w-40 - in temperate climates 5w-40 would do.
